Everton prepare to host Manchester United in round 27 of the English Premier League on Monday night, with both sides eager to return to winning ways.
The Red Devils currently sit fifth after Chelsea’s draw with Burnley lifted them level on 45 points, nudging United down a spot on goal difference.
Still, the visitors head to Merseyside in fine shape. Interim boss Michael Carrick has steadied the ship superbly since taking over from Ruben Amorim, held just once in his five games in charge – collecting four wins and that single draw.

That slip came in their last outing, a 1-1 away result at West Ham where Benjamin Sesko’s late strike snatched a point.
United are now eyeing a 10th consecutive league game without defeat and will be desperate to reclaim a top-four spot as the season enters its decisive phase.
Everton, meanwhile, still harbour dreams of European football for the first time since 2017–18.
A 2-1 home loss to Bournemouth last time out ended their four-match unbeaten streak, but they began the weekend just three points off seventh place.
David Moyes’s men have struggled in recent weeks on their own turf, losing three of their last five at Goodison (to Arsenal, Brentford, and Bournemouth). They are also yet to keep a home clean sheet since their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest back in early December.

Everton will be without Jake O’Brien following his red card against Bournemouth, but Seamus Coleman is available again and pushing for a start at right-back. Jack Grealish (foot) is their only other absentee.
For the visitors, Patrick Dorgu remains sidelined after picking up a muscle injury during the 3-2 win at Arsenal in January.

De Ligt is making progress too as he works his way back from a back issue that’s kept him out since late November.

Everton are aiming to complete their first Premier League double over United after their 1-0 win at Old Trafford in November a game remembered as much for David Moyes’s first league victory at his old stomping ground since 2013 as it was for Idrissa Gueye’s bizarre red card.
This will be the 217th meeting between the two sides. United lead the all-time head-to-head with 97 wins to Everton’s 72, while 48 games have ended all square.
