Manchester United will be looking for their first victory in three games when they take on Everton at Old Trafford.

Paulo Dybala’s goal saw Juventus take the points in midweek, while Ross Barkley’s equaliser in added time at Stamford Bridge last weekend saw United held to draw.

Everton meanwhile will be eager to add to the pressure on Jose Mourinho with a third successive victory following wins against Leicester City and Crystal Palace. Follow all of the latest below.


What time does it start?

Manchester United vs Everton kicks off at 4pm.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Premier League and Main Event channels from 3:30pm. The match is also available on Now TV by grabbing a Sky Sports Day Pass for just £7.99. Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Romelu Lukaku: Jose Mourinho admitted that this is not a “sweet moment” for the Belgian, and no goals in eight matches very much encapsulates that. Six goals in four games preceded the former Everton man’s current barren run, and there will be no better time to get his first at Old Trafford this season than against his former side.

Best stat…

98: Manchester United have scored 98 goals against Everton in the Premier League, more than against any other opponent.

Player to watch…

Andre Gomes: The Barcelona loanee made an impressive debut for the Toffees last weekend against Crystal Palace. The midfielder was fantastic in recovering the ball and was similarly impressive in starting off attacks, providing a flashback to the Portuguese’s performances at Valencia and why Barcelona paid £42m for his services in 2016.

Hello, and welcome along to our coverage of Manchester United's game against Everton.

Jose Mourinho suffered more misery in midweek as Juventus comfortably outclassed his side at Old Trafford to win 1-0.

Marco Silva's Everton have been inconsistent this season but got back to winning ways against Palace last week.

Anyway, here come the teams

Here are the starting XIs at Old Trafford!

So, Marcus Rashford gets his chance up front for Jose Mourinho with Romelu Lukaku dropped to the bench.

Will he fare any better up top than the struggling Belgian?

Fred also makes his first start since scoring against Wolves.

Kick off in just over ten minutes time.

A heartwarming story to end a somber weekend,

1 min: Manchester Utd 0-0 Everton

A minute's silence has been held with Armistice Day on the horizon and yesterday's tragic events still fresh in the memory.

Immediately afterwards Juan Mata gets us underway at Old Trafford. Can Manchester United put double disappointment behind them against a 'Jekyll and Hyde' Everton side?

Not Pogba's finest effort, I must admit. Shaw and Martial do well down the left-hand side and the Frenchman finds his fellow countryman.

The former Juventus man's shot however is not so precise and goes out comfortably for a throw in.

Everton have looked bright when given the opportunity and Bernard nearly gets an effort on target.

Walcott plays in Sigurdsson after closing down Lindelof, and the Iceland midfielder's whipped cross is just too far in front of the Brazilian.

A little bitty at the moment from both sides. Theo Walcott has made some encouraging runs and the wide areas also seem to be the way to go for the hosts with Anthony Martial and Fred looking dangerous.

15 min: Manchester Utd 0-0 Everton

Let off for Jose Mourinho's side. A corner is whipped in from the right and Andre Gomes loses Luke Shaw who gets caught under the ball. However, the Barcelona loanee can only direct his free header straight at David de Gea.

And now a headed chance for United. Fantastic work from Martial to get a cross in and find Juan Mata, but he concentrates so much on keeping the header down it lacks the placement and is easily saved by Pickford.
