Everton vs Manchester United: Preview, Lineups and Prediction
In the 26th game week of the English Premier League campaign, Everton are all set to host Manchester United at Goodison Park. Manchester United are in an unusual league position- 15th- while Everton seem to have thwarted the relegation threat that was hanging over them. Both sides will look to gain momentum going into the final third of the Premier League season.
Manchester United have struggled to string together wins and passes in the ongoing season. Under Ruben Amorim, the club has failed to gain the new manager bounce, resulting in a poor standing on the points table. In the last five games, the Red Devils have only two wins and three losses. With just 29 points from 25 games, they are still not out of relegation threat at this point. Ruben Amorim’s men will hope to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Everton have mustered four wins and a draw in the last five Premier League games under David Moyes. The return of the Goodison Park son has resulted in the league turning their way, with them on 30 points and 14th place. With a win, they could move up to 12th position on the points table. In the previous game, they registered a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Everton vs Manchester United: Injuries haunt the performance
Manchester United continue to reel under the pressure due to significant players being unavailable due to injury. For the clash against Everton, Lenny Yoro, Christian Eriksen, and Manuel Ugarte are back in contention, while Amad, Tobby Collyer, and Kobbie Mainoo remain long-term absentees.
For Everton, Dwight McNeil and Illiman Ndiaye will miss the trip to face Manchester United, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Youssef Chermiti, and Armando Broja are the long-term absentees.
