Everton host Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium tonight while they aim to bounce back from a recent defeat and complete a historic league double.
The Toffees have moved into 11th place following a frustrating 2–1 home loss to Bournemouth in their last outing. Manager David Moyes oversaw a performance that saw his side lose control in the second half, and he is now looking for a reaction against his former club. Notably, Everton are looking to beat Manchester United twice in a single season for just the second time in Premier League history.

David Moyes manages a squad dealing with a key defensive suspension but bolstered by a veteran return. Notably, Jake O’Brien is suspended after his dismissal last time out, while Jack Grealish remains a long-term absentee. Consequently, Moyes faces a reshuffle in his backline, though the return of Seamus Coleman provides much-needed experience at full-back. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall—who netted the winner at Old Trafford—aims to become the first English Toffee since 1978 to score home and away against the Red Devils in a single campaign.
Jordan Pickford will start in goal behind a defensive line likely featuring James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. In midfield, Idrissa Gana Gueye and James Garner are expected to anchor the side. Iliman Ndiaye and Armstrong will provide the creative threat from wide areas, with Dewsbury-Hall operating in the number ten role. Thierno Barry is poised to lead the line as Everton seek their first home clean sheet since early December. Notably, Everton have historically suffered more home defeats against United than any other opponent.
Everton Predicted Lineup
Everton predicted XI: Pickford; Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Armstrong, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
