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.

22 min: Manchester Utd 0-0 Everton

First booking of the game and it goes to Idrissa Gueye, who blocks of Fred who is on the charge.

23 min: Manchester Utd 0-0 Everton

Jordan Pickford has been called on more in the last five minutes, this time denying Martial whose dipping effort is put behind for a corner.

26 min: Manchester Utd 0-0 Everton

Penalty to Manchester United!

It is another mistake from Gueye. He stops in the penalty area when tracking Martial and sticks out a leg which the Frenchman tumbles over.

The Ghanaian faces no further action despite being on a yellow card, and here comes Paul Pogba to take....

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Everton (Pogba 27')

Well well, Pogba is one lucky man. The Frenchman takes an eternity with his run-up and when he does strike it, Jordan Pickford gets a strong hand to it. 

Luckily for Pogba the goalkeeper parries straight back to him, and he makes no mistake with the rebound.

30 min: Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

Pickford nearly has a (another?) moment to forget. Martial causes more havoc down the left and he eventually finds Pogba. The Frenchman's left-foot shot is saved by England's no.1, but the rebound falls to Rashford who slots home.

But the linesman correctly rules it out for offside.

34 min: Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

It has been a quiet last 15 minutes for Everton, and it shows as Walcott wastes a good position on the right which troubles neither the United defence nor offers something that Bernard or Richarlison can attack. 

Kishan Vaghela28 October 2018 16:34

35 min : Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

Fred scored on his last start at Old Trafford, and he tries to replicate that feat here. His shot from 30 yards does not test Pickford though.

37 min: Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

Another header, another straight at the keeper.

Seamus Coleman does well down the right and picks out the onrushing Sigurdsson, but again de Gea does not break a sweat to save.

43 min: Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

Two minutes to go until the break and Manchester United have kept the ball fairly well in the last ten minutes.

Can Everton snatch something before the break? Well, they might have, but Theo Walcott's left-foot effort is tame and straight at de Gea after a promising run. 

Kishan Vaghela28 October 2018 16:43

45+1 min: Manchester Utd 1-0 Everton

Theo Walcott looks to make amends for his earlier effort, but de Gea is comfortable in turning the Englishman's near-post drive out for a corner.
