Everton vs Sheffield Utd tips and predictions

Everton look hard to oppose

It's 15th placed Everton welcoming 20th placed Sheffield Utd in this Premier League clash as the home team looks to build on the 21-point gap that separates the sides.

The odds-on Everton price might not stand out to readers but it's a good bet to consider. This'll be one-way traffic.

The momentum is overwhelmingly with Everton. The hosts have taken no prisoners in their last 4 home games, winning all of them. On a less impressive run, the visitors are short of confidence after 5 back-to-back losses, home or away. Everything points to a further defeat here.

The home defence should be highlighted. They'll see this as an opportunity to keep a clean sheet; they have kept a clean sheet in all of their last 4 home games. It's been well documented that the away side looks ragged under pressure. Sheffield Utd have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 10 matches. Studying these stats starts to present plenty of encouragement for the home side coming through. They'll come into the match looking for holes that could materialise in the visitors' defence.

In their last game Sheffield Utd were beaten 3-1 by Nottingham.

Everton are the clear favourites and it's possible they just don't give up ground to Sheffield Utd. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough. Whatever happens here, expect Everton to run away with this one.
