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?
