Although Everton's defending has been well below par, Dyche will be pleased that they still have a chance to get at least a point from this game. Ten Hag will be demanding his side to be more clinical in front of goal to secure the win.

Man United dominated the first half, registering 21 shots, but Pickford has done a brilliant job to stop the hosts from running away with the lead. He made five saves in the first period to stop one-on-one opportunities from both Rashford and Antony while Wan-Bissaka missed an open goal. Simms almost scored at the other end after Everton swept through the Red Devils' defence, but he dragged his effort past the left post. McTominay then broke the deadlock in the 36th minute after a brilliant pass from Sancho to give Man United a 1-0 lead at half-time.
