How Everton go into the game

Everton drew 1-1 at Bournemouth last time out, a fair point on the road. Their new home will demand a strong performance against United.

Well-organised under their manager, Everton are difficult to break down. Frustrating United and hitting on the break is the plan.

How Man Utd go into the game

Manchester United hammered Ipswich 5-2 last time out, a rampant attacking display. Confidence will be high heading to Merseyside.

United look a threat going forward and will fancy another away win, though they can be leaky. Backing up that result is the aim.
