Everton vs Manchester United: Premier League preview, predictions & bet builder tips

• Ladbrokes previews Everton vs Manchester United, with predictions and bet builder tips

• Bruno Fernandes expected to extend his fine goalscoring record against the Toffees

• James Garner tipped to pick up a booking against his former club

Ladbrokes shares its preview for Everton vs Manchester United, with expert predictions and bet builder tips ahead of Monday night's Premier League clash.

Both teams are looking to bounce back from disappointing results last week, with Everton losing to Bournemouth and United having to settle for a point at West Ham, but otherwise strong runs of form have set this up as a huge game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

European football is still very much the aim for the Toffees, while United have their sights set on the top four, and if the drama of the reverse fixture is anything to go by, then we should be in for a thoroughly entertaining evening.

Read on for our Everton vs Man United bet builder, with the Red Devils tipped to win a closely contested affair.

• Fixture: Everton vs Manchester United

• Competition: Premier League

• Date: Monday, February 23, 2026

• Kick off: 20:00 GMT

• Venue: Hill Dickinson Stadium

Our prediction: Everton 1-2 Manchester United

One win in seven Premier League meetings with Manchester United doesn't bode too well for Everton, and we're backing the visitors to come out on top again here. Unbeaten in nine league games and fighting for a top-four finish, United finally carry something of a fear-factor again, and they should have too much for the Toffees on Monday night.

Predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Pickford / Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko / Garner, Gueye / Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, George / Barry

Predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Lammens / Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw / Mainoo, Casemiro / Amad, Fernandes, Mbeumo / Cunha

Time and time again, Bruno Fernandes is the man stepping up for Manchester United just when they need something special, and we're backing the skipper to get his name on the scoresheet again this week, taking his Premier League tally for the season to seven.

Assists have been the order of the campaign for Fernandes so far, with the Portugal international running away with the Playmaker Award, but his 68 Premier League goals prove he's more than capable of finding the net himself - as Everton know all too well. Six goals against the Toffees make the Merseysiders Bruno's favourite Premier League opponent, and on his first-ever appearance at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, we're predicting another goal to add to his impressive tally.

Having scored a dramatic winner at Old Trafford back in November, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be looking to drag his side to an unlikely victory again this week, so we're tipping him to register at least one shot on target at home to Manchester United.

The Englishman is enjoying a fine first season in Everton blue, with five goals and a number of excellent performances making him one of David Moyes' main men, and his license to attack means he's always picking up dangerous positions around the box. Averaging more than a shot per game, Dewsbury-Hall is always ready to try his luck when the opportunity arises, so we're tipping Everton's top scorer to test Senne Lammens here with 1+ shots on target.

Former Man United youngster James Garner is preparing to face the Red Devils for the sixth time in an Everton shirt, and with six yellow cards already to his name this season, we're backing the midfielder to collect a booking on Monday night.

Garner is averaging just under a foul per game in the Premier League this season, and with the 24-year-old also averaging over three tackles per 90, he's never too far from the thick of the action. As Everton continue to push for the European spots, we're expecting another full-blooded display from Garner in the middle of the park, and his combative style should make for a great battle with the likes of Casemiro. Referee Darren England could be busy, and we're tipping him to show James Garner a yellow on Monday night.

Wrapping up our Everton vs Manchester United preview and predictions, we're backing the Red Devils to walk away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium with all three points, keeping their push for Champions League football in full swing.

United have won five of the last seven Premier League meetings with Everton, including two of the last three away from home, and with Michael Carrick's side enjoying an unbeaten start to the interim manager's tenure, they're clear favourites to come out on top here. The summer signings are really starting to show their class, and against an Everton side bruised from their defeat to Bournemouth, we're predicting an enjoyable away day for the Red Devils.
