Overview

The Premier League returned after a break of two weeks due to international fixtures and United will resume their clash against the Merseyside club at home. The last time these two teams faced each other at Goodison Park saw the Red Devils seal a 3-0 win.

United come into this fixture after registering a narrow 1-0 victory over neighbours Manchester City during the derby clash at the Etihad. It was teenage star Marcus Rashford's first half goal that helped Louis van Gaal's side seal three points.

Everton enter this tie after suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal at home. They have struggled in the league this term, with Romelu Lukaku being the brightest spot in their season as the striker has scored 18 goals in England's top flight club competition.

Roberto Martinez has a tough task on his hands, especially against a team who are looking to reduce the gap to secure a place in the top four. A victory will only keep United's hope alive of making it to next season's Champions League.

What manager says

Louis van Gaal: "Everton I think is a very good team, very good individual players — they only created five chances in the game.When you also see the history of the last matches against Everton — not my history but the history of the club — it is not so good. So it is for a club like Manchester United a very difficult opponent, but I hope my record shall continue."

Roberto Martinez: "We all know that Manchester United control the ball really well. Their positional play is as good as anyone. They are very organised and I think they are in a really good moment of form. You don't get better doses of confidence than beating your rivals in the derby as they did. To keep a clean sheet against Manchester City at the Etihad I think shows you the type of performance they had — well balanced."
