Manchester United have dominated Everton in the Premier League era, winning 42 of 69 meetings since 1995. Yet the 2-2 draw in February 2025 snapped a six-match United winning streak, hinting at a potential shift in this lopsided rivalry.

2What’s unclear
  • Exact date of the first fixture before 1892 remains incomplete in historical records
  • Comprehensive head-to-head across all competitions (league, FA Cup, League Cup) is not centrally compiled
  • Next match date and kick-off time not yet confirmed by the Premier League

4What’s next
  • Next fixture: yet to be scheduled by the Premier League for the 2025/26 season

The head-to-head ledger shows a clear imbalance, but the 18 draws suggest Everton have often held their own.

Metric Value
Total meetings (since 1995) 69
Everton wins 9
Manchester United wins 42
Draws 18
Everton goals 63
Manchester United goals 98
First recorded meeting 1890s (see Worldfootball.net football stats archive)
Last meeting result Manchester United 1-0 Everton (Feb 2025)

The implication: Everton’s draws, particularly at home, show they can compete — but turning those into wins remains the missing piece.

What Is the Historical Timeline of Everton vs Manchester United?

The fixture dates back to the late 19th century, though full records only become comprehensive after 1892. The first fully documented meeting was a 5-0 Everton win on 27 August 1921 — still their biggest victory in the fixture (Worldfootball.net football stats archive).

Early meetings (pre-1992)

  • 1921: Everton 5-0 Manchester United — largest Everton win in the rivalry
  • 1890s–1920: Sporadic early meetings, dates not fully recorded
  • 1979 FA Cup final: Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 in the famous “5 minute final” — not a direct Everton match, but a key context point: Everton and Man Utd met in FA Cup semi-finals and finals during this period

Premier League era (1992–present)

  • August 1992: Everton won the first Premier League meeting at Old Trafford 3-0 (Sports Mole football stats & analysis)
  • 1995–2005: Manchester United went unbeaten against Everton for a decade — 10 wins and 5 draws across all competitions
  • 2005–2010: Everton began to close the gap, with draws becoming more frequent

Recent encounters (last 10 years)

  • 21 April 2019: Everton 4-0 Manchester United — Everton’s biggest Premier League win over United (Sports Mole football stats & analysis)
  • 1 December 2024: Manchester United 4-0 Everton — biggest Man Utd win in recent years (11v11 match database)
  • 22 February 2025: Everton 2-2 Manchester United — ended United’s 6-match winning streak (11v11 match database)

The pattern: Everton’s rare big wins (1921, 2019) show occasional peaks, but United’s consistency over decades has defined the rivalry.

Bottom line: Everton’s 5-0 victory in 1921 remains their biggest-ever win, but Manchester United have dominated the Premier League era, winning 42 of 69 meetings since 1995. The 2-2 draw in February 2025 snapped a worrying 6-match losing streak for Everton — a small but meaningful step.
What to watch

Manchester United won 6 straight games before the February 2025 draw — if they can re-establish that streak, this fixture will remain a reliable points source for them. For Everton, the challenge is simple: turn draws into wins at Goodison Park, where they have been more competitive.

Has Everton Ever Won at Old Trafford?

Yes, but rarely. In 35 Premier League visits, Everton have won just 2 times, drawn 10, and lost 23 (Sports Mole football stats & analysis).

Notable away wins

  • August 1992: Everton 3-0 at Old Trafford — first Premier League meeting
  • December 2013: Everton 1-0 at Old Trafford — most recent away win (Bryan Oviedo scored)

The pattern: Everton’s away wins are generational events — spaced 21 years apart. For the Merseyside club, breaking that cycle would signal a genuine change in competitive standing.

Who Has Won More, Everton or Manchester United?

Three numbers, one picture: Manchester United’s dominance is overwhelming in the modern era, but the all-time record includes a more respectable 72 Everton wins out of 218 total meetings.

The all-time series breaks down across competitions.

Metric Value
Manchester United wins (overall) 98 (out of 218 across all competitions) (Sports Mole football stats & analysis)
Everton wins (overall) 72
Draws (overall) 48
Since 1995 (all comps) Man Utd 43, Everton 8, Draws 16 (AiScore football data aggregator)

The implication: In the Premier League era, the gap has widened. Everton’s 8 wins since 1995 against United’s 43 is a 5:1 ratio that mirrors the financial and competitive imbalance between the clubs over the last three decades.

What Time Is the Next Everton vs Manchester United Match?

The next league meeting has not yet been scheduled by the Premier League for the 2025/26 season. Fixtures are typically announced in June for the following season, with match dates, kick-off times, and broadcast details confirmed 4-6 weeks in advance.

How to stay updated

Who Is Favored to Win the Next Match?

Based on current squad value and historical form, Manchester United would enter as the clear favorite. The most recent encounter (2-2 draw) disrupted their 6-match winning streak, but bookmakers typically price United around 1.80 (win) with Everton at 4.50 and the draw at 3.60 for future league meetings.

The catch: Home advantage matters. At Goodison Park, Everton are far more competitive — in the last 5 meetings at Goodison, there have been 2 draws, 2 United wins, and 1 Everton win, making the Merseyside venue a genuine variable.

The trade-off

For Manchester United, the fixture is a reliable points opportunity — 42 wins in 69 since 1995. For Everton, each match is a chance to reverse a trend that has seen them lose 23 of 35 Premier League visits to Old Trafford. The February 2025 draw was a step in the right direction, but turning draws into wins remains the task.
