Premier League predictions and best bets: Goals on MNF for ‘entertaining but structurally unstable’ Man Utd vs Everton

Our football betting expert Jones Knows provides his insight across the Premier League and makes a case for goals as Man Utd host Everton on Monday Night Football.

Manchester United vs Everton, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports

Manchester United should come with a disclaimer: ‘entertaining but structurally unstable.’

Ruben Amorim has a team overflowing with attacking talent, energy and moments of genuine quality yet one that carries enough defensive looseness to turn every 90 minutes into a wild ride. There have been 37 goals in their Premier League games – working to an average of 3.36 per 90. No team averages higher.

They are the must-watch team in the Premier League because of it.

Amorim has realised that they are a team built for moments – not for consistency – and he’s embracing it.

And, goals at both ends are becoming the smartest angle in United’s games.

This looks a clash where both teams will fancy themselves going forward and neither will fully trust themselves without the ball. Sky Bet go 10/11 on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, and that looks very backable considering the direction of travel in United games.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score (10/11 with Sky Bet)
