Everton faces Manchester United tonight at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, looking to recover from a recent loss and achieve a rare league double.
After a disappointing 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth, Everton has dropped to 11th place. Manager David Moyes is seeking a strong response against his previous club. This match presents a chance for Everton to defeat Manchester United twice in one season, a feat they have accomplished only once before in the Premier League.
Everton Team News
Moyes will manage a team missing a key defender due to suspension but welcomes back an experienced player. Jake O’Brien is suspended following his red card in the last game, and Jack Grealish is still unavailable due to injury. This means Moyes will have to adjust his defensive setup, though the return of Seamus Coleman offers valuable experience. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who scored the winning goal at Old Trafford, aims to be the first English player from Everton to score against United both home and away in a season since 1978.
Jordan Pickford will start in goal, likely protected by a defense including James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. In midfield, Idrissa Gana Gueye and James Garner are expected to play key roles. Iliman Ndiaye and Armstrong will contribute from the flanks, with Dewsbury-Hall in the central attacking position. Thierno Barry is set to lead the attack as Everton looks for their first home clean sheet since early December. Historically, Everton has seen more home losses to United than to any other team.
