The Blades are searching for their first win, and they are hovering just above the relegation zone, albeit by virtue of goal difference.
Goals have been a problem for United, but the recent £18million acquisition of Cameron Archer should give them more firepower up front.
Everton, similarly, have found life hard going, and they have been in the doldrums for the past few seasons.
It may seem too early to deem this match a six-pointer, but both sides need three points if they are going to give themselves any momentum before the international break.
I have scoured around the markets and I have picked out a couple of betting tips for you to consider.
Sheffield United to grind things out
Sometimes, it just takes that first win to help you hit your stride, or at least, stop you looking over your shoulder.
Paul Heckingbottom had seen his attacking options depleted, but the arrival of Archer, should give the Blades a much-needed morale boost.
Everton have looked woeful, and they have failed to hit the target which is very disconcerting for all those connected to the club.
While it has been over two years since these sides last met, it’s fair to say past clashes haven’t been classics.
In the three previous league encounters, only a solitary goal separated both teams (1-0), and United were victorious on their most recent trip to Goodison Park in May 2001.
This could be a drab affair too with few chances. Therefore, I am going to go with United to clinch a 1-0 win which might be ugly viewing, but this Correct Score line is available at 7/1 with Betway.
Cameron Archer to be the chief poacher
Cameron Archer has a keen eye for goal, and while on loan at Middlesbrough last term, he netted 11 times in 17 appearances.
Heckingbottom will be pleased to have brought Archer in just before deadline day, and the 21-year-old will be eager to make an impression on his Premier League debut.
And if you have a flick through YouTube videos, Archer can score all types of goals.
For my second pick, I have gone with Archer to be a poacher and net the only goal of the game. William Hill has obliged with a match special which is for Archer to score inside the six-yard box, and you can locate a tempting price of 9/1 should you wish to pursue it.
