Player(s) to watch:
- Carlos Alcaraz is the man in form for Everton heading into this fixture.

He has come into the side very recently and has made a place for himself with his heroics up front and has recorded two goal contributions in as many Premier League outings.
- Bruno Fernandes will look to guide Manchester United back to the upper half of the table and will need to put in a series of impactful performances to achieve that. Fernandes’ vision and attacking instincts are simply unmatched. He loves taking on defenders and initiating attacking moves for the Red Devils. With five goals and six assists, Bruno has eleven goal contributions in the English top flight this season.
