Ever-improving Everton host Manchester United at Goodison Park in what is expected to be an exciting Premier League clash on Sunday evening.
The Toffees have begun to show signs of progress after securing back-to-back wins in the league following their 2-1 win over Southampton.
United, meanwhile, will look to bounce back and return to winning after suffering a humiliating 6-3 defeat to Manchester City in the Manchester derby. A struggling win in Europa League did more harm than good as they conceded twice in Cyprus.
Everton are 11th place in the league – level on 10 points with Brentford and Liverpool, while United’s are up in sixth place but just 2 points better off.
The Toffees will be hoping to get the best of United again this campaign after they walked away with four points out of a possible six in the league last season after playing to a 1-1 draw in the first leg before Everton snatched a narrow 1-0 win on the return leg.
Frank Lampard has a long injury list ahead of the clash which includes Andy Lonergan, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey, Mason Holgate, Nathan Patterson and Andros Townsend, while Erik ten Hag will have his whole squad at his disposal as he has no new injuries or suspensions in his camp.
Anthony Gordon will look to rediscover his form for Everton, having failed to find the back of the net in his last three matches, with his last two goals coming against Brentford and Leeds United.
Anthony Martial will look to build on his recent performance for United, which saw him bag a brace against Manchester City after returning from injury.
