Manchester United vs Everton preview: Team news, likely lineups, score prediction
Everton are set to travel to Old Trafford on Monday to take on Manchester United in their first game back after the international break.
Everton’s 2-0 win over Fulham earlier this month meant that David Moyes’ side went into the break on a high and ended their poor run of form.
Now, the Toffees will be looking to make it back-to-back Premier League wins on Monday. However, this will be a tough task against an in-form Man United side.
Below, Goodison News has provided everything you need to know about the impending clash.
Form guide
Manchester United: WWWDD
Everton: WLLDW
Team news
Nathan Patterson could potentially be in contention for the Manchester United game if he has managed to overcome his groin problem during the international break.
Moyes will definitely be without Jarrad Branthwaite, who has been sidelined for Everton since pre-season.
For Man United, Benjamin Sesko will definitely be out of the clash on Monday after picking up a knock against Tottenham before the international break.
It remains to be seen if Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire are in the squad against the Toffees, with the trio close to returning from the sidelines.
Likely lineups
Manchester United: Lammens, de Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mount, Mbuemo, Cunha
Everton: Pickford, Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Gueye, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Beto
Prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Everton
Unfortunately, given Man United’s current form, it is hard to see Everton getting anything from the game.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last five matches, picking up impressive wins against Liverpool and Brighton along the way.
Given that Everton have been vastly inconsistent recently, it is hard to know what type of performance the players will deliver.
Therefore, while it will likely be a close encounter, Man United should see out a tight 1-0 win.
