Manchester United’s open style often leaves space at the back, so we expect each side to score. Everton create chances through hard work and movement, even without a reliable finisher. However, United usually respond with drive and sharpness in front of the goal. Expect a tense affair, with the hosts edging it thanks to their attacking consistency

Team News:
- Manchester United could be without several key players for this match. Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martínez are both listed as doubtful, the latter still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury. Harry Maguire carries a knock, while Benjamin Šeško remains sidelined with a knee injury and is not expected back until mid-December.
- Everton also face potential absences ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. Jarrad Branthwaite remains out with a hamstring injury and is not expected back until mid-January 2026. Merlin Röhl continues recovering from a groin issue, likely sidelined until late December. Meanwhile, Nathan Patterson is a doubt after picking up a knock.
Player(s) to watch:
- Bryan Mbeumo looks like the one Everton must keep a close eye on defensively in transitions. He leads their scoring chart this season with five goals in 11 games, showing movement in the box and confidence in front of the goal. His ability to exploit space and punish defensive lapses could turn the match if Everton lose focus even for a moment.
- Iliman Ndiaye enters the game as Everton’s biggest threat. With 4 goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season, he has shown his instincts in tight spaces and a knack for finishing under pressure. If United leave gaps, his directness and ability to exploit counterattacks could cause real problems at Old Trafford.
