Who:<\/strong> Manchester United vs Everton Manchester United host Everton and are looking to extend a five-game unbeaten run under Ruben Amorim although they have drawn their past two against Nottingham Forest and Spurs.<\/p>\n list of 4 items<\/span>end of list<\/span><\/section>\n A win could see them move into the top four with Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s scoring streak a key factor in their recent resurgence.<\/p>\n But Everton are just three points below Man United in a congested table, and David Moyes will be extra motivated to get a result at his former club.<\/p>\n Monday\u2019s fixture at Old Trafford marks a year to the day since Amorim\u2019s first match in charge.<\/p>\n Amorim\u2019s reign as United manager started with a 1-1 draw away to Ipswich, and since then, the Portuguese boss has experienced plenty of lows in charge of the English football giants, including finishing 15th in the table and failing to qualify for Europe.<\/p>\n But recent results have been encouraging, and Amorim said consistency is key.<\/p>\n \u201cRight away, I knew we would struggle in some things, but the feeling was it is the best league in the world, maybe the best club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201c[Now] I think we are showing [consistency], but the important thing is that it doesn\u2019t matter what we did in the recent games,\u201d he said. \u201cWe cannot forget we suffered a lot in those games and play every game like it is the last one.<\/p>\n \u201c[We are] more dominant, playing better football, and more competitive in every way.\u201d<\/p>\n Man United forward Matheus Cunha has credited the club\u2019s resurgence under Amorim with helping him cement a spot in Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s Brazil squad before next year\u2019s World Cup in North America.<\/p>\n Cunha, 26, has seamlessly adapted to playing in Amorim\u2019s system as a hybrid attacking midfielder and forward, a trait he believes has strengthened his case for World Cup inclusion.<\/p>\n \u201cKnowing that the manager [Amorim] trusts me to play in multiple positions is important,\u201d Cunha said.<\/p>\n \u201cManchester United is a club that should always be at the top,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to be playing in a side that\u2019s delivering and competing well. To earn a spot in the national team, you have to consistently show your worth at club level.\u201d<\/p>\n Everton received a significant boost after appointing Moyes as manager for the second time in January with his side steadily rising up the table.<\/p>\n Speaking before the game against Man United, Moyes said his team were continuing to work towards finding \u201csolid ground\u201d but it would take time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve said many times about us trying to get on solid ground again. We\u2019ve done that with the new owners, new stadium and staying up last year. So we have to try and make sure that we go steady,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf anybody thought that we were going to completely switch everything around, then they\u2019re completely off their head.\u201d<\/p>\n Moyes continued: \u201cI used to always look at the real managers from eras before me who I look up to now \u2013 Bobby Robson, Brian Clough, Don Revie \u2013 all those ones who\u2019d been given long periods at their clubs, and if you look at the success, it tended to work better that way.\u201d<\/p>\n Matthijs de Ligt equalised in the sixth minute of a dramatic period of stoppage time to earn Manchester United a\u00a02-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on November 8.<\/p>\n Tottenham had looked like they would claim all three points when Richarlison glanced in a header in the first minute of added time, completing a Spurs comeback from a goal down.<\/p>\n There was still time for de Ligt to find space at the back post at a corner to direct a header goalwards and over the line before Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario clawed the ball away.<\/p>\n Trailing after Mbeumo\u2019s 32nd-minute header, Tottenham dominated the second half and grabbed an equaliser in the 84th through substitute Mathys Tel\u2019s shot that deflected in off de Ligt.<\/p>\n Everton defeated Fulham 2-0 at home on November 8 just before FIFA\u2019s international window, ending a three-match EPL winless streak going back to October 5.<\/p>\n Idrissa Gueye gave Everton the lead in the first half, and Michael Keane made it 2-0 in the second as Moyes\u2019s side also had a number of goals chalked off for offside in what was a dominant victory.<\/p>\n United are unbeaten against Everton in their last six fixtures with four wins and two draws.<\/p>\n The teams last played in a preseason friendly two weeks before the start of the 2025-2026 English Premier League season:<\/p>\n Manchester United:<\/strong> W-W-W-D-D (most recent result last)<\/p>\n Everton:<\/strong> W-L-L-D-W<\/p>\n Benjamin Sesko will be out of action \u201cfor a few weeks\u201d after hurting his knee before the international break, Amorim said on Friday.<\/p>\n The forward, who joined United from RB Leipzig for 74 million pounds ($97m) in August, was injured during the 2-2 draw at Tottenham and missed Slovenia\u2019s World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n United will also be without Harry Maguire against Everton after the defender picked up an injury in the Spurs draw.<\/p>\n Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo could be available to face Everton, and Lisandro Martinez is getting closer to a return after being involved in the Argentina camp over the break.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Cunha missed a Christmas lights switch-on event in Altrincham after organisers revealed the forward suffered \u201can accident in training\u201d on Saturday, raising doubts over his availability on Monday.<\/p>\n Lammens; Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Diallo; Zirkzee<\/p>\n Moyes said on Friday that central midfielder Merlin Rohl has had an operation to treat a hernia and is not expected to return for a few weeks.<\/p>\n Everton are also missing Nathan Patterson and Jarrad Branthwaite due to groin and hamstring injuries, respectively.<\/p>\n Otherwise, Moyes appears to have a fully fit squad to choose from.<\/p>\n Pickford; O\u2019Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Who: Manchester United vs EvertonWhat: English Premier LeagueWhere: Old Trafford, ManchesterWhen: Monday at 8pm (20:00 GMT)How to follow:\u00a0We\u2019ll have all the build-up on\u00a0Al Jazeera Sport from 5pm (17:00 GMT) in advance of our live text commentary stream.
