Everton vs Manchester United, Premier League preview: Starting XIs, prediction, TV, live stream and highlights

In-form Manchester United will look to continue their recent resurgence when they head to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side - boosted hugely by the January arrival of Bruno Fernandes - have kept six clean sheets during a promising eight-match unbeaten run and put big pressure on fourth-placed Chelsea in addition to reaching the last 16 of the Europa League.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match…

Possible starting XIs

Everton: (4-4-2): Pickford; Sidibe, Mina, Holgate, Digne; Iwobi, Schneiderlin, Delph, Sigurdsson; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison

Man Utd (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, Matic; Greenwood, Fernandes, James; Ighalo

Team news

Everton could welcome back Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott from injury, while Andre Gomes returned as a substitute against Arsenal just 112 days after suffering that fracture dislocation to his right ankle.

Ivorian midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin underwent thigh surgery earlier this month and remains sidelined.

As for Manchester United, Anthony Martial is a major doubt after missing the 5-0 drubbing of Club Brugge with a thigh/knee issue suffered in training, meaning Odion Ighalo could retain his starting berth.

Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are still out along with third-string goalkeeper Lee Grant, though Scott McTominay is fit once more.
