United v Everton: Essential match info

Following on from victories against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, there is a regained spring in the step of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Reds, and a third win on-the-spin against the Toffees could send us into the festive season with just a two-point deficit to the top four.

As for the visitors, the Blues confirmed that Duncan Ferguson will once again take charge, after winning 3-1 in his first match as caretaker manager against Chelsea. In this fixture last season, goals from Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial saw us run out 2-1 victors, and we'll be hoping for a similar outcome on Sunday at 14:00 GMT.

Here's the key information ahead of Sunday's match...

WHICH TV CHANNEL IS IT ON?

The Ashington-born official, who is one of two English referees to be part of UEFA's Elite Group, will oversee his first United fixture of the season, having last been in charge of our goalless draw with Liverpool in February. Oliver will be assisted by Stuart Burt and Simon Bennett with Kevin Friend as the fourth official. On VAR duty at Stockley Park will be Craig Pawson, with Eddie Smart as his assistant.
