Manchester United kick off the Premier League TV schedule for this weekend with the visit of Everton to Old Trafford.

United have experienced a mixed run of results but performances haven’t been up to scratch in the eyes of the fans who saw Cristiano Ronaldo dig the team out of a hole against Villarreal during midweek.

Ronaldo has scored five goals in five games for United but other stars are yet to show their full capabilities and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is coming under increasing scrutiny once more.

Everton are level with United on 13 points; they sit in fifth, one place below their opponents, going into this one.

Rafael Benitez has steadied the ship nicely in the blue half of the Mersey, and a victory could see them leap to the very top of the table given how close things are.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Everton

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored lots of goals for United but the perception at the time was that it was to the detriment of the wider team. It’s hard to say Ronaldo’s move has been anything other than a success right now, but Solskjaer does need to find a way of getting his other stars firing.

Mason Greenwood has gone off the boil since Ronaldo’s arrival, Jadon Sancho has looked tepid so far and Anthony Martial is out in the cold. Even Bruno Fernandes hasn’t quite hit the heights in the Premier League so far.

It’s not an impossible task, but Solskjaer does need to work on crafting a team rather than a collective of individuals going forward. On the other hand, Everton will arrive as one, dig deep and look to frustrate United.

Our prediction: Man Utd 1-1 Everton (8/1 at bet365).
