Everton have faced relegation a few weeks ago, but since taking over from manager David Moyes, the team has risen to 14th in the table. Man United are 1 place below and 1 point behind them.
The Scot has won more points than any other Premier League manager since taking over the Toffees (13 points from six games).
That great start continued after the win over Crystal Palace at the weekend. They are full of confidence as they prepare to face Man United, although the historical statistics do not support it. Everton have lost five consecutive games against United, including their last four with a total score of 11-0, meaning they have not scored any goals.
In the match at Old Trafford at the end of last year, the Red Devils won 4-0. However, with the change after Moyes took charge, it was the home team that was rated higher.
Ruben Amorim's team has lost 8 out of 12 matches in the Premier League and caused great disappointment. After a 0-1 loss to Tottenham last week, they received a lot of criticism.
The attack is the biggest problem as Rasmus Hojlund has not scored any goals in 15 matches, while Joshua Zirzkee has failed to score in 12 matches.
With a long injury list, it will be difficult for the Red Devils to improve quickly. They don't have many options on the bench, most of them are young players with little experience. If they continue to lose points against Everton, Man United will most likely be pushed down to 16th place.
Expected lineup
Everton: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, Harrison;
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Mazraoui, Maguire, De Ligt, Dorgu; Fernandes, Casemiro; Zirkzee, Hojlund, Garnacho
