The Premier League returns after midweek European drama and excitement. This week in the Premier League we are having some exciting games. We have Arsenal going head to head with Liverpool. Another big game in this week’s Premier League action is at Goodison Park. Then Everton called when The Toffees take on Manchester United.
Everton welcome back Manchester United, who are in low confidence after their loss to Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. Then, in Europe, they almost fought a match against a low level team. But in the end, United somehow managed to win the game thanks to Martial being their super substitute again. In general, Manchester United visits Everton after they were once again exposed after a 4-match winning streak. After two worrying results in a row, Erik Ten Hag is expected to make some changes.
Erik Ten Hag will be waiting for a response from his players and a commendable performance. The last time Manchester United were in the same situation and faced a Liverpool side, fortunes changed for them and they hope history will repeat itself twice in the same season.
Arriving at Everton also had the worst start to their Premier League. They lost the first two games on the trot. But since then they have not been beaten in the Premier League so far. They had 4 consecutive draws that got them into the relegation zone. Frank Lampard’s Everton manager was under pressure. Since returning from the international break, Everton have been in fine form. They have won consecutive matches. They are currently in position 11 and would look to keep the winning momentum going.
Everton host Manchester United in a delicious clash this weekend. Let’s see which players could play a crucial role in this clash.
Key players to watch out for in the Everton v/s Manchester United Clash
Everton
anthony gordon
The young English winger is a key player in Everton’s line-up. He was sought out by top clubs in the summer transfer window, but ultimately decided to stay with Everton following Lampard’s interference in the matter. She finally convinced him to stay at Goodison Park. A fast player has a genuine pace to burst down the flank.
Gordon is also a known dribbler and his ability with acquaintances is considered one of the most important aspects of the game. Another advantage of having Gordon is a very versatile player who can play in different positions on the pitch. With already 2 goals in his kit, he will no doubt be hungry to score more. If Everton are going to do anything good against United, this man has to be in top form.
alex wobi
The Nigerian was one of those six players to earn a nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award in September after his exceptional performances for the Toffees. He considered one of the most knowledgeable midfielders in the PL at the moment. Iwobi has been key to Everton’s early strong showings in the league. His 4 assist count is second only to De Bruyne.
With his creative long-range passing, Iwobi has the ability to break down tight defensive lines which will be key against United’s powerful CB pairing of Varane and Martinez. His dribbling, vision and composure as a midfielder are quite impressive. Frank Lampard will need his trusted midfielder to deliver again in this crucial game for the Merseyside club.
manchester united
anthony
The young Brazilian sensation was included in the Ajax squad on the orders of boss Erik Ten Hag. And what a signing it has turned out for the Red Devils. Samba’s beautiful magic has already begun to spread his aura in the theater of dreams. His brilliant dribbling qualities have already made him a nightmare for defenders. Added to this is his great speed to break down defensive lines along with his accuracy at crosses.
He has already registered two goals in 5 appearances for them and is almost a default starter now. Antony will be quite essential in breaking the deadlock against a quality Everton side that has the likes of Conor Coady in their defence. Ten Hag will surely be hoping for his attack spearhead to do the trick one more time to help his side to a win.
Lisandro Martinez
Another Ajax talent brought in by Ten Hag, the Argentine defender has already made a name for himself in the Premier League for his solid defensive qualities. Before his presence, United were regularly conceding goals even against lower-tier teams. His inclusion has proved decisive in turning United’s fragile defense around.
He has already kept 4 clean sheets in 10 appearances. Martinez and Varane had made a formidable CB pairing at United. Once again, it will be necessary at their best to get a win against the Merseyside club.
