As 2025 began, Everton looked set for a long, tough relegation battle. However, under the guidance of returning manager David Moyes, the Toffees have completely turned their fortunes around. They are the Premier League’s in-form side with 13 points from their last six matches (W4, D1, L1). Their resurgence has been spectacular, with Moyes tightening their defense and injecting fresh attacking energy into the squad.
Currently, Everton find themselves 13 points away from the top six and the relegation zone, making this season’s finish more about laying the foundation for their debut campaign at their new stadium. Moyes has worked wonders in front of goal, with Everton scoring 12 goals in their last five Premier League matches—more than they managed in their previous 16 combined.
Manchester United in Crisis Mode
While Everton are soaring, Manchester United are in turmoil. Two consecutive league defeats and an unconvincing FA Cup win against Leicester have left the Red Devils reeling. Sitting in 15th place, one point behind Everton, this is the latest in a season that United have trailed the Toffees since the 2013/14 campaign.
To make matters worse, United’s squad has been decimated by injuries. Last weekend’s match against Tottenham saw them missing 12 senior players, leaving manager Ruben Amorim scrambling for solutions. Amorim is under immense pressure, having had eight defeats in 14 league matches under his leadership.
Key Players to Watch
- Beto (Everton): The forward has thrived under Moyes, scoring four goals in his last five Premier League games. This is a remarkable improvement compared to the four goals he managed in 42 league appearances under former boss Sean Dyche.
- Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United): The Dutch forward has struggled for form, with his last Premier League goal coming in December—a brace in a 4-0 win over Everton.
Prediction: Can Everton Complete a Historic Triumph?
Moyes is eyeing a third consecutive home win against his former club, with the last two coming with clean sheets. Given United’s injury woes and recent struggles, Everton look poised to take advantage. With Goodison Park roaring behind them, expect the Toffees to continue their impressive form. A 2-1 Everton victory looks like the most probable outcome.
