MANCHESTER, OLD TRAFFORD — Manchester United host Everton this afternoon as Erik ten Hag’s side aim to bounce back from their derby defeat last weekend.
United are in sixth place, behind Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, heading into this matchday. To have any chance of securing a UEFA Champions League place next season, they cannot afford any more dropped points at home.
Last time at the Theatre of Dreams, they were defeated by Fulham thanks to a 97th-minute winner from Alex Iwobi, and their unbeaten run in 2024 came to an end.
Everton are still battling at the bottom of the league table and are hoping to pick up points to boost their chances of top-flight survival, having not won a league game since mid-December. Can they spring a surprise against the Red Devils?

Man United vs Everton lineups, starting 11s, team news
United’s injury picture is still not looking good. Rasmus Hojlund is still sidelined with a muscle injury and told club media he will not “put a date” on his comeback. It is hoped he will be available for the FA Cup match against Liverpool on March 17, with Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also tipped to return for that game at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford has been carrying a knock from the defeat to Man City but has been cleared to play, along with Jonny Evans. Victor Lindelof will likely line up at left-back due to long-term injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Omari Forson, who made his debut against Fulham, is injured.
Man United (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Varane, Evans, Lindelof — Casemiro, Mainoo — Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho — Rashford.

Idrissa Gana Gueye has “a chance” of playing, according to manager Sean Dyche, but it seems unlikely the midfielder will be rushed back. Dele Alli is sidelined and Arnaut Danjuma is unlikely to be rushed back, but James Garner is set to start against his old club at Old Trafford.
Everton (4-4-1-1 right to left): Pickford (GK) — Godfrey, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko — Harrison, Onana, Garner, McNeil — Doucoure — Calvert-Lewin.
