Everton and Manchester United recovered from winless outings and will be facing off at Old Trafford with either side ginning for three points to further top four ambitions. United are second in the standings, with 44 points, three behind leaders Manchester City. Meanwhile Everton have 36 points, and in sixth place. The hosts play the second of three straight home matches looking to further build on the 9-0 win over Southampton on Tuesday. The big win saw United end a two-match winless run and presented a second straight clean sheet for the side. The shock loss to Sheffield United at home remains the only one in United’s last 16 matches in the league but they have two wins only in the last five. At home, they have four wins in five league matches. United have scored 19 goals in their last five home matches in the league, and conceded just five.

Everton snapped a two game winless run with a 2-1 win away to Leeds United on Wednesday. That was their third win in the last five matches and they only need to improve in defence, having kept one clean sheet in five matches. Everton have four wins in their last six matches and also four of the five have produced over 2.5 goals. They’ve only failed to score in one of the six matches and in four they have scored two or more. The Toffees have played the least matches among the top six teams. Being just four points outside the top four, with two games in hand, they have a good chance to stake for a Champions League spot. Everton have no clean sheet in the last five league matches but have conceded more than one goal in just one of the five. They have four straight away wins in the league and are unbeaten in six, with five wins therein. Everton will be happy to have Dominic Calvert Lewin back on the score sheet. He scored for the first time in nine Premier League matches as Everton beat Leeds.
