Manchester United vs Everton – Match Preview and Team News | OneFootball

Manchester United wrap up Matchweek 12 on Monday night as they welcome Everton to Old Trafford, aiming to climb back into the top four and extend their unbeaten home run.

Rúben Amorim’s side entered the international break unbeaten in five matches across all competitions, but frustration lingered after back-to-back 2-2 draws against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur. They face an Everton side managed by former United boss David Moyes, who returns to Old Trafford seeking his first win at the ground as an opposing manager. The Toffees arrive in decent spirits after a vital 2-0 win over Fulham in their last outing, a result that moved them five points clear of the relegation zone.

Manchester United vs Everton – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Manchester United

Rúben Amorim is dealing with a mini-injury crisis following the international break. Striker Benjamin Šeško is ruled out for a few weeks with a knee injury. In addition, defender Harry Maguire is sidelined with a hamstring problem. On a positive note, midfielder Casemiro is fit to return after international duty. Kobbie Mainoo faces a late fitness test, while Lisandro Martínez is back in training but unlikely to start.

Everton

David Moyes has confirmed that midfielder Merlin Röhl has undergone hernia surgery and will be out until Christmas. Furthermore, defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson remain long-term absentees. The Toffees are likely to stick with the core of the team that beat Fulham, with Jack Grealish providing creativity from out wide.

Form Guide

Manchester United

United sit 7th in the table with 18 points but could move as high as 4th with a victory, capitalising on slip-ups by rivals over the weekend. They have turned Old Trafford into a fortress recently, winning their last four Premier League home games. However, defensive lapses have been costly on the road, as seen in the recent draws where they surrendered leads. At home, they have been far more secure.

Everton

Everton are 13th in the table and have found some stability, losing just two of their last seven league games. The 2-0 win over Fulham before the break was crucial, ending a three-match winless run. Away form remains a major hurdle for Moyes’ side. They have won just once on their travels this season (at Wolves) and have a dismal record at Old Trafford, with just one win there in their last 32 visits.

Predicted Lineups

Manchester United predicted XI: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Diallo; Zirkzee

Everton predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry
