Match preview: Get ready for United v Everton
Manchester United will return to Old Trafford on Sunday for an important Premier League match against Everton.
Jose Mourinho’s men suffered a 1-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Juventus in midweek and plan to return to winning ways against the Toffees.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this weekend’s game…
Sunday 28 October | Premier League | Old Trafford | Live build-up on MUTV from 14:30 GMT | Kick-off at 16:00 GMT
United have won 87, drawn 44 and lost 66 of the 197 previous matches against the Toffees. Encouragingly, we are also unbeaten in the last seven fixtures across all competitions.
EARLY TEAM NEWS
Diogo Dalot, Antonio Valencia, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Marouane Fellaini, Scott McTominay, Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sanchez have all missed United's recent matches due to injury. Make sure to tune in to the manager’s press conference on Friday, when an update may be provided on their availability.
Meanwhile, Everton have no fresh injury concerns. Long-term absentee James McCarthy will miss the game, as could skipper Phil Jagielka, who hasn’t played since the opening game of the season due to a mixture of suspension and injury. It is believed that Marco Silva may rotate his starting XI, after making three game-changing substitutions against Crystal Palace last weekend.
FORM GUIDE
Everton are currently one of the Premier League's in-form sides after winning three consecutive matches. Late goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun ensured they beat Crystal Palace last week, following successive victories against Fulham and Leicester City. Away from home, the Merseysiders have lost just one of their four games on the road this season.
THIS FIXTURE LAST SEASON
United secured a convincing 4-0 win over the Toffees on 17 September 2017, thanks to goals from Antonio Valencia, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku. Watch the highlights below...
