Everton v Man Utd predictions, TV & stream options, team news, possible line-ups

Manchester United will look to keep themselves in contention for a Champions League place when they travel to Everton on Sunday.

The Toffees host Man Utd after a promising performance away at Arsenal last time out but ultimately lost 3-2 to the Gunners, leaving them 11th in the Premier League table, hanging on in hope of a European place which is certainly an objective for new manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Everton are just give points behind United, who current sit in fifth but are a side building momentum having taken seven points from their last three games without conceding a goal.

Team News

Everton

Former Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes made a remarkable return to action against Arsenal after four months out. He could start against United on Sunday but Ancelotti may want to ease him back into things after suffering such a nasty break.

Theo Walcott and Lucas Digne both missed that match with injuries and remain doubtful while Jean-Philippe Gbamin is certain to be out.

Predicted XI: Pickford; Coleman, Mina, Holgate, Baines; Iwobi, Sigurdsson, Bernard; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Man Utd

Paul Pogba is expected to return to group training next week, while there is a chance Marcus Rashford could miss the rest of the season.

The game comes too soon for Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

It doesn’t sound like Anthony Martial will be available after missing Thursday’s win over Club Brugge with an injuries sustained in training during the week.

Predicted XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Greenwood, Fernandes, James; Ighalo.

Predictions

Solskjaer saw his players crumble to a 4-0 defeat in this fixture last season. His record as manager is finally starting to pick up now and the Red Devils need a big result this result. It would send alarms out to Chelsea, Spurs and other teams fighting for a top four finish.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has cast his thoughts on Everton v Man Utd, too, stating that he thinks the game will end in a 1-1 draw.

“Everton have definitely picked up, so I expect goals. The defence has improved at United and I see a lot of confidence there at the moment. I see a fairly physical game, as the crowd will want it that away, and I cannot separate them.”
