Everton v Manchester United: Confirmed line-ups as Martinez misses out
United are unbeaten in the league in 2026.
Manchester United will hope to move into the top four of the Premier League with victory at Everton.
The Red Devils lost the reverse fixture 1-0 at Old Trafford, that defeat one of several damaging home results that contributed to Ruben Amorim’s eventual departure.
United are revitalised under Michael Carrick, though, and will be confident of getting revenge against an Everton side harbouring European ambitions of their own.
