Manchester United aim to continue their strong home form against an Everton side managed by former Red Devils boss David Moyes. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes going into Monday night's meeting at Old Trafford.
Man United are undefeated in their last five Premier League outings. If they want their ambitions to climb to the top of the table to be taken seriously, they can't slip against Everton. The two are currently separated by just three points, with United sitting 10th and Everton in 13th.
The Vibes-O-Meter uses a scale of 1-10 based on the contemporary highs and lows of the Post-Fergie era; one being the feelings following the Brentford loss that precluded the current run of form, and 10 being the feelings felt when Harry Maguire and his big, beautiful forehead dunked on those smug Liverpool supporters in their own house.
Man United's upturn in form has seen the 20-time English champions move to within eight points of Arsenal in the Premier League table, and that gap could reduce to five if they win and the Gunners lose at home to Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's North London derby.
Matheus Cunha is a doubt for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Everton on Monday after picking up an injury in training, sources have told ESPN.
Ruben Amorim has a team overflowing with attacking talent, energy and moments of genuine quality yet one that carries enough defensive looseness to turn every 90 minutes into a wild ride. There have been 37 goals in their Premier League games - working to an average of 3.36 per 90. No team averages higher.
Ally McCoist was on the same wavelength as another TNT Sports pundit over the outcome of Man Utd against Everton... 🔮👀
Ruben Amorim has been dealt a double injury blow ahead of Manchester United ’s game at home to Everton on Monday night. Benjamin Sesko and Harry Maguire were absent from training on Friday morning, and Amorim has confirmed that neither player will be available for selection against Everton.
