Man United News

Erik ten Hag’s side were in action on Wednesday night, beating Brentford 1-0 through a Marcus Rashford goal to end a three-match winless run in the Premier League and move back into the top four.

United now look to back that up, and extend their unbeaten record at home across all competitions this season to 25, against an Everton side battling for survival at the bottom of the table.

The Toffees picked up a hard-fought point last time out against Tottenham, but are still only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

Man United vs Everton is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off time on Saturday 8 April, 2023.

Old Trafford in Manchester will host.

Luke Shaw will miss the game after he was forced off with injury in the first-half against Brentford. Christian Eriksen, however, is now fit.

Anthony Martial is in contention to start, which would likely see Jadon Sancho drop to the bench and Rashford move out to the left wing. Christian Eriksen is nearing a return but remains out, while Casemiro is still suspended.

Abdoulaye Doucoure will miss the trip to Old Trafford after he was shown a straight red card against Tottenham. The midfielder hit out at Harry Kane off the ball in a moment of madness and his three-match absence is a real blow for Everton.

James Garner or Tom Davies could come in as replacements, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to miss out with injury again.

Everton’s survival bid will be fuelled by their displays at Goodison Park, with results on the road proving far more difficult for Sean Dyche’s side.

That is unlikely to change against a United side so dominant at Old Trafford, and even though they are not currently at their free-flowing best up front, the hosts should have enough to get the job done comfortably enough.

Man United to win, 2-0.

Everton have won just once at Old Trafford in 31 years, with that win coming in 2013 when David Moyes was in charge of Man United.
