When it comes to aggression, Man United are ranked fifth in the table regarding league ill-discipline and this is courtesy of 33 yellow cards and a single red card being collected by the Red Devils since the start of the season.

More importantly, the Red Devils average 2.83 cards per game across this season’s Premier League and their opponents average 2. Although Everton only average 1.58 cards per game, 3 or more should be within total touching distance at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Everton arrive at Old Trafford having only scored 10 Premier League goals this season – the second joint lowest amount before Week 13 begins. Their current output means an average of just 0.83 goals per game. In addition to this, the Toffees have failed to score in any of their last 3.

When this is factored in next to Manchester United’s own lack of goals, their average of 1.08 league goals per game to date does not necessarily get the pulses racing and even allowing for Ruben Amorim to remove the shackles of his new players, no more than 3 total goals is our choice.

Although Bruno Fernandes has struggled in front of goal by his own standards, it is fair to say that only scoring twice in the Premier League this season is not for the want of trying and the number of attempts he has on average should reflect that.

The Portuguese midfielder has recorded 37 shots this season at an average of 3.08 shots per game. Although he may not be hitting the target at the same rate (0.58 average OT by comparison), his constant desire to create opportunities could prove beneficial for us on Sunday.

Everton have recorded a total of 27 away corners in this season’s Premier League at an average of 4.50 per game and each of their last 3 away games have seen that average exceeded – 7 at Ipswich and 6 each at Southampton and Everton.

Sean Dyche’s men have also struggled on the road when it comes to collecting corners. In successive away trips to Aston Villa and Leicester, just 3 were earned across the two matches. That, combined with a severe lack of goals for Everton recently, suggests few corners for them at Old Trafford.

After being the hero on Thursday night, Rasmus Hojlund has made a strong case to be in the Man United starting XI this Sunday. The former Atalanta forward scored twice against Bodo/Glimt and after such an impressive showing, he will look to build his confidence further.

Especially as Hojlund’s league output has been far from remarkable this season and with the Dane having only scored 1 Premier League goal this season, he will be keen to impress new manager Ruben Amorim further. The way to achieve that is by getting on the scoresheet against Everton.

Before their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday, Everton have given away a total of 75 fouls across their 6 previous away Premier League matches and this equates to 12.5 per game when Sean Dyche’s men are on the road.

They have gone above that average on two occasions – 18 at Southampton and 15 at Tottenham and they have also given away 12 fouls when visiting Leicester and Aston Villa. Couple this with a United side that will be keen to impress, and Everton may have to use the dark arts to stop them.
