Stats suggest Everton fans should look forward to their Monday Night Football clash with Manchester United.
That’s because David Moyes’ side avoid defeat in 63% of their MNF fixtures in the Premier League, while United are winless for over two years on a Monday night.
Manchester United vs Everton Monday Night Football Record Compared
Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford and both teams’ respective records on Monday Night Football in the Premier League point to a tightly-fought affair.
It’s actually the Toffees who have played more Premier League games on a Monday night since the English first division was revamped in 1992. Everton have played 92 MNF games, with United having played just 54.
The Red Devils have won 33 of their 54 matches played on a Monday night in Premier League history. This works out at a 61.1% winning rate, which is far greater than that of Everton.
Everton have won just 28 of their 92 MNF Premier League clashes, which works out at just a 30.4% win rate. The Toffees have actually drawn more Monday night football games than they’ve won (30), losing the remaining 34.
However, Moyes’ side have enjoyed better results in recent Monday Night Football matches.
United have lost their last two Premier League games on a Monday evening to Crystal Palace and Newcastle United respectively. Everton on the other hand have drawn their last two with Sunderland and West Ham United.
This suggests that Moyes could well get something on his return to his former employers, with Ruben Amorim having lost his only previous Monday evening game in the Premier League 2-0 at home to Newcastle.
Manchester United fans shouldn’t expect a big spend this January transfer window, but will be expecting victory at Old Trafford to put their poor MNF record behind them.
Manchester United vs Everton MNF Records – The Stats

Everton’s MNF Record Suggests Points Are Achievable At Old Trafford Tonight
Although Everton’s Monday Night Football record isn’t unbelievably strong, losing just 37% of their 92 previous MNF matches indicates that they’re hard to beat under the lights at the beginning of the week.
Add to that the fact that Manchester United haven’t won a Premier League game on Monday Night Football in over two years – and Everton will be quietly confident of coming away with something.
United’s last MNF victory came back in August 2023, when they defeated Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford. Raphael Varane’s goal earned the Red Devils their last win on Monday night, which doesn’t exactly fill fans full of confidence ahead of their meeting with the Toffees.
Ruben Amorim’s side look to be finding their feet of late, and a win over Everton would see them jump up to fifth place, just behind Aston Villa in the Champions League spots on the same amount of points (21).
That being said, the Toffees have picked up points in their last two MNF fixtures, meaning they should be full of confidence on their travels to Old Trafford under the lights.
