Man United facing injury crisis as six players could miss Everton clash
Manchester United are expected to be without at least six players for the match with Everton at the weekend, including striker Rasmus Hojlund.
The Blues travel to Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime winless in 10 Premier League games and off the back of three frustrating results, including the home defeat to West Ham United.
Sean Dyche will have his own issues to deal with, with Arnaut Danjuma and Idrissa Gueye both ruled out last the weekend, though Amadou Onana, Andre Gomes and Lewis Dobbin returned to his squad.
But Erik ten Hag is likely to be without some big names too as he attempts to pick his team up after their derby defeat to Manchester City.

Hojlund is among those potential absentees, with ten Hag saying of the Danish striker’s muscular issue: "It's a small injury, two or three weeks. It's a risk in high-intensity training."
Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw are expected to miss out, as are those with longer term problems such as Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Anthony Martial.
There may be some respite for the hosts, with Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka thought to be in contention, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Everton lost 2-0 in the same fixture last season, Scott McTominay and Martial sealing a victory that would have been more emphatic had Jordan Pickford not been in superb form.
