After a long wait, Everton finally return to Premier League action tonight with Manchester United the visitors to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees have been left to stew on that disappointing 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth for almost two weeks, but tonight there’s a chance to get back on track.
Let’s hear your score predictions for Everton’s game with Manchester United!
Can the Toffees finally halt their winless run at the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🙏
Victory will mean Everton move back up to eighth, and if the win is big enough they will also leapfrog Brentford into seventh.
Fans have been itching for this game following what happened last time out against Bournemouth, and here are three bold predictions for tonight’s clash.

Everton claim first Hill Dickinson Stadium victory for over two months in style
Much has been made of Everton’s recent home form, and it is most definitely a concern.
It’s difficult to pinpoint why there has been a slump after a promising start, but this winless run mustn’t go on for much longer before it becomes a genuine psychological issue.
And we are backing the boys to deliver tonight and finally get that elusive win after weeks of trying.
It feels like there needs to be a ‘moment’ at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Or a game that really gets Everton settled at their new ground.
And maybe United under the lights tonight is that game. We believe Everton will rise to the occasion with a 3-1 win.
Idrissa Gana Gueye atones for red card and shackles Bruno Fernandes
Idrissa Gana Gueye has been the subject of some criticism in recent weeks, with fans perceiving his level to have dipped.
He wasn’t having the best of seasons by his usual high standards, and then he went to AFCON. Since returning from tournament, Gueye has appeared jaded.
Does Gueye need to be dropped? 🤔
But the rest period Everton have just had may have been just what Gueye has needed.
Tonight, he will likely start and it is probably going to be his job to keep tabs on the influential Bruno Fernandes.
And we feel that, after a string of sub-par performances, Gueye will actually deliver one of his best showings of the season against United, and one that atones for his performance in the reverse fixture when he got sent off for striking Michael Keane!
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall achieves 47-year first thanks to brace
It has become very apparent this season that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is one of Everton’s most influential players.
The summer signing from Chelsea made a fantastic start, but then picked up an unfortunate injury. However, since returning he’s been great.
Is it time for Everton to start thinking about a change? 👋
One year left on his deal as things stand…
He’s shown himself to be a player who makes things happen – and we predict he’ll do just that tonight.
Dewsbury-Hall can achieve a 47-year first against United, by becoming the first English player to score in both league games against them since Andy King back in the 1978/79 season.
And we don’t just think he’ll score once – we’re backing the star to score his first brace for Everton.
