Everton begin the weekend in 11th place on 36 points while Manchester United start in 5th place on 41 points.

Everton come into the match having lost their previous Premier League game 3-2 at Arsenal last weekend. The Toffees took an early lead in the match, conceded 2 goals but then managed to find an equaliser just before half time. However, Arsenal regained the lead early in the second half as Everton could not find a third goal.

That result means Everton lost for the first time in 6 Premier League games. Prior to the defeat against Arsenal, Everton had defeated Brighton and Hove Albion and Crystal Palace at home plus Watford away. Everton also picked up a point in draws at West Ham United and at home against Newcastle United.

They are undefeated in their last 7 home games in all competitions and have scored at least 1 goal in all of their last 9 matches in the Premier League. Everton have scored in each of their last 4 home Premier League games but have conceded 3 goals in their last 2 at Goodison Park.

Manchester United played on Thursday night in the Europa League and defeated Club Bruges 5-0 to progress to the Round of 16 of the competition. That result means the Red Devils are undefeated in their last 6 games in all competitions. There was a win at home in the Premier League against Watford last weekend but many of the best results have come away from home.

Manchester United have defeated Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup, Manchester City in the League Cup and Chelsea in the Premier League, all of which were away from home. Trends show Manchester United are undefeated in their last 4 away matches in all competitions. Manchester United have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 3 Premier League games and have lost only one of their last 10 meetings with Everton.

Looking ahead to the team news and for Everton Jean-Philippe Gbamin is the only player who will definitely miss out. Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott are doubts.

Manchester United continue without Marcus Rashford who is not expected back in action for at least another few weeks. Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are the other two regular first team player who are unlikely be involved in the match day squad.

Everton have improved under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti. However, Manchester United have also been showing signs of improvement in recent games and could come away with maximum points having seen both teams find the back of the net.
