Manchester United will host Everton at Old Trafford in a crucial Premier League match on Monday evening.
After a difficult start this season, the Red Devils have shown signs of improvement in the last few games, with 18 points from 11 games. They are currently within easy reach of the top four.
On the other hand, Everton have had a solid start under David Moyes, with 15 points from 11 games. So a win in this match means they will have the same number of points as United.
Team news
Benjamin Sesko is ready remain sidelined in the coming weeks, after suffering a knee problem against Tottenham Hotspur last time out. On the other hand, Harry Maguire is also not in contention for this encounter due to an injury.
Kobbie Mainoo was absent against Spurs and could not be seen during the live training on Friday. However, he may be available on Monday evening.
Lisandro Martínez has been sidelined since the beginning of this year due to a serious knee injury. He has trained with the first team and may return to the matchday squad against Everton.
Predicted lineup
Ruben Amorim will continue with his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, with Senne Lammens likely to move between the sticks. He even made his debut for Belgium during the international break.
Matthijs de Ligt should start as CCB after helping United to a draw against Tottenham with his injury-time goal. Leny Yoro is expected to line up on the right side of the defence, and Luke Shaw could be on the other side.
Amad Diallo and Patrick Dorgu are likely to be the Red Devils’ two full-backs. That is why Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui can come off the bench if necessary.
Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes will continue in the engine room, while Mason Mount and Bryan Mbeumo could be the two number 10s. In that case, Manuel Ugarte would have to make do with a place on the bench.
Matheus Cunha is expected to take charge at United in Sesko’s absence, with Joshua Zirkzee could come in as a substitute if necessary.
