Everton vs Manchester United live early team news plus how to watch and kick-off time

Manchester United will be targeting a return to winning ways when they visit Goodison Park for the last time to face Everton this lunchtime, kick-off 12.30pm.

United suffered a second straight league defeat without scoring last time out, being beaten 1-0 by Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That marked their sixth defeat in their last nine league matches.

It means United head into this lunchtime's clash on Merseyside sat 15th in the table, one point and one place behind their hosts. Everton moved above United last weekend with a 2-1 away win over Crystal Palace.

The Toffees have made steady progress following David Moyes' return to the club in January, winning four of their last six league matches. They are unbeaten in their last five in the league, winning four.

By contrast, United have won just four of their first 14 league games under head coach Ruben Amorim. However, his biggest win as United boss so far was a 4-0 triumph over Everton at Old Trafford back in December.
