Everton v Man Utd: Anytime Goalscorer Tip
Prolific since arriving at Goodison, the Croatian even scored twice at Old Trafford in April.
Robin Van Persie will grab all the pre-match limelight on Monday, but Everton have their own sharp shooter in Nikica Jelavic - a best price of 5/2 (PaddyPower) to score at any time in 90 minutes.
The Croatian scored a superb nine goals in 13 league matches after arriving from Ibrox in January and the home faithful will be eagerly awaiting his first full season at the club. The 26-year-old even had a major say in the final destination of the league title after bagging a brace at Manchester Utd in spring. That 4-4 draw ultimately cost the Red Devils a vital two points which Sir Alex Ferguson identified as the key moment of the run-in.
Jelavic became the quickest player to reach 10 goals for Everton across all competitions since 1912. The Premier League Player of the Month for April is a generous price to carry on where he left off in his side’s seasonal opener.
