Latest Everton vs MU squad information
Both Everton and Manchester United are facing a squad crunch due to rising injury numbers, forcing them to field more young and inexperienced substitutes, with Manchester United even having to field eight teenagers in their most recent game.
Everton will welcome back Abdoulaye Doucoure from suspension. However, Alcaraz put in an impressive performance in his first start, making it doubtful Doucoure will regain his place. Another key player, Iliman Ndiaye, is still sidelined with a knee ligament injury and is expected to be out for around six to eight weeks. Jack Harrison could be relied upon again in that position after starting the previous game. Everton are also without Dwight McNeil (knee surgery), Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti. Fortunately, Beto has been in excellent form, helping Everton overcome their personnel problems. He just scored his seventh goal of the season and has an impressive scoring rate in the Premier League.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have an equally long injury list. However, manager Ruben Amorim could welcome back Leny Yoro, Christian Eriksen, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer after they have recovered from minor injuries and illness. Amad Diallo is out for the rest of the season with a serious ankle injury. However, Manchester United's biggest problems lie in midfield and defence, with Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount both absent. Yoro's return is crucial, as Manchester United are without Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans in defence. Victor Lindelof, however, is available and was the only experienced player on the bench in their last game.
Latest expected lineup for Everton vs MU
Everton:
Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, Harrison; Beto
Manchester United:
Onana; Dalot, Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt, Dorgu; Fernandes, Casemiro; Zirkzee, Hojlund, Garnacho
Latest football commentary on Everton vs MU
Just a few weeks ago, Everton were worrying about relegation, but things have changed dramatically under David Moyes, taking them above Manchester United in the Premier League table.
It is the first time Everton have overtaken the Red Devils so late in the season since 2013-14, when Moyes was sacked after defeat at Goodison Park. However, the Scot is having a much better time this time, picking up more points than any other manager since his appointment, with 13 points from six games. Everton had won just three of Sean Dyche's 19 games before that, scoring just seven goals from open play. In just six games under Moyes, Everton have won four and scored eight goals from open play.
That impressive form was reflected in a win over Crystal Palace, with Carlos Alcaraz scoring his first goal for the club. It was also their first counter-attacking goal of the season. While their chances of finishing in the top five for the Champions League are slim, Everton are 13 points clear of the relegation zone, the same distance as they are from the European places. However, the nine-point gap to eighth place looks too big to overcome unless they maintain this form.
The match against Manchester United will be the last time Everton host the Red Devils at Goodison Park before moving to their new stadium. Everton are determined to improve their poor record against United. They have lost five games in a row against the Red Devils, with the last four games having been 11-0 to Manchester United. The last time Everton lost five games in a row against an opponent without scoring was in the 1950s against Wolves. In the first leg, Manchester United won 4-0, a strange result considering they had an xG of just 0.73 but made the most of their chances. However, that result does not reflect reality, as Manchester United continue to decline, losing eight of their last 12 games, including five of their six home games.
However, the history of confrontations at Goodison Park could help manager Ruben Amorim in his search for a third consecutive victory here. Last season, this match was highlighted when Everton had just been deducted 10 points, leading to protests from fans, but just 3 minutes later, Alejandro Garnacho scored a superb bicycle kick, opening the way for Manchester United to win 3 games in a row for the first time since 2007, and also keep two consecutive clean sheets away from Everton since the 1990s. However, with a 0-1 defeat to Tottenham in their last match, experts do not rate Manchester United's chances highly. Their attack is having big problems, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee both going through a long scoreless streak. Both Everton (12) and Manchester United (10) have the most games without a goal this season, and if the Red Devils continue their stalemate, they could equal the record for most games without a goal in a Premier League season, despite still having 13 games left to play.
