If the following two sentences are correct, do they have the same meaning? If so, which would you use?

1) Man Utd play at Everton next Saturday afternoon.

2) Man Utd play Everton next Saturday afternoon.

By the way, is it correct to use the simple present in the examples above?

Thank you.

The first says where Manchester United are playing and does not explicitly say who their opponents are; the second says who they are playing against and does not say where the match is to be played. The use of the simple present is normal in situations where something is expected or scheduled.

@centrox,
Should I write something like this?

Man Utd play Everton at Goodison Park next Saturday afternoon.

Also, should I say, "That player did well at Everton" or "That player did well when he was at Everton"?

Thanks again for your kind help.

This is the normal way of saying it.

Either is fine.
