Everton vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Everton and Sheffield United, two clubs with a rich history in England, face each other in the sixth round of the Premier League. The home team also hopes to win the third game at Goodison Park, while Sheffield United wants to book the first win of the season.
Everton:
Many teams from the Premier League have already lost points in the first five rounds last month, which means that Everton is not so bad with seven points from those five matches. Yes, The Toffees are now in eleventh place in the Premier League, but number three Tottenham Hotspur has only one point more than the formation of Marco Silva. The fact that Everton has seven points is mainly due to their performance in the home games, because outside of their own stadium, Everton only managed to grab one point.
That happened on a visit to Crystal Palace, while the games at Aston Villa (2-0) and AFC Bournemouth (3-1) were disappointingly lost for Silva and his team. Certainly because Aston Villa and Bournemouth have a lot less quality than Everton, which in its own home already won 1-0 against Watford and 3-2 against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In fact, Everton won the last six home games it played in the Premier League and in that series Chelsea (2-0), Arsenal (1-0) and Manchester United (4-0) were beaten. Normally a home duel with PhD student Sheffield United should not be a problem for Everton, but you never know at this Everton.
Sheffield United:
With five points from five games, Sheffield United is not doing badly as a PhD student. Certainly not if you thank The Blades for spending less than fifty million euros on new players during the transfer period. The formation of Chris Wilder is mainly due to the hard work, which means that few players from Sheffield United are on the wish lists of the somewhat larger Premier League clubs. With hard work you can also go a long way and maintain yourself, Crystal Palace, for example, has proven in recent years.
That Sheffield United does not have a team with which it is going to play safely quickly became apparent last week in the competition meeting with competitor Southampton. On own Bramall Lane, Sheffield United lost 0-1 to The Saints and Billy Sharp was sent off with a red card. Looking purely at the game, Sheffield United had earned a bit more against Southampton and Wilder also complained about the lack of sharpness in his team afterwards. For the time being, the attackers of Sheffield United are not yet able to convince, David McGoldrick did not score in four games yet and Oliver McBurnie has only one in this season.
It’s not for nothing that Wilder is in full swing with his attackers. The 33-year-old Sharp, who was shown a red card against Southampton, is more of a real defender than the other attackers of Sheffield United, but the problem is that Sharp is lacking on a number of other points. Midfielder Muhamed Besic, who played less than a minute, is hired from Everton this season and therefore misses the game at Goodison Park, just like the suspended Sharp.
