Team News

Everton have a few players on the injury list coming into this weekend's game. He will be joined on the sidelines by Theo Walcott, who sits out with a knee injury. Lucas Digne missed the Arsenal defeat with a muscle strain, and is a doubt to start this game.

As for Man Utd, they have several injuries to contend with, which will particularly affect their attacking options. French striker Anthony Martial failed a fitness test due to a thigh issue before the Europa League win on Thursday and is considered a doubt for the trip on Sunday.

With ​Marcus Rashford a long-term absentee due to back problems, it could be down to either new signing Odion Ighalo or youngster Mason Greenwood to lead the frontline for the away side.

Martial's compatriot ​Paul Pogba (ankle) is not expected to appear on Sunday, the game coming too soon for a return. Also sidelined are young defenders Axel Tuanzebe (thigh) and Timothy Fosu-Mensah (knee), as well as veteran goalkeeper Lee Grant.

Head-to-Head Record

Earlier in the season, a Duncan Ferguson-led Everton came away with a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. It was Greenwood's strike that cancelled out a first-half own-goal from his teammate Victor Lindelöf and earned Ole Gunnar Solskjær's team a share of the points.

A entertaining draw will be the most likely outcome as both sides will look to emphasise speedy counter-attacks in their game plans, which will likely result in a high number of goals on Sunday afternoon.
