Manchester United will face Everton at Goodison Park, where the Toffees are dealing with a hefty 10-point deduction in their first Premier League game after the penalty. The Merseyside club find themselves in the relegation zone due to financial breaches, while the Red Devils’ form has been inconsistent before the international break.
Erik ten Hag will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first XI for this game. Aaron Wan-Bissaka will return to action as he gets the nod over Diogo Dalot while Antony and Mason Mount get to play to from the start.
4-2-3-1 Manchester United Predicted XI Vs Everton
Defence
Andre Onana will function in goal for the Mancunian club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Victor Lindelof will form a defensive partnership with Harry Maguire at the heart of Man United’s backline as they try to keep the opposition attackers at bay throughout the game.
Wan-Bissaka will feature as the right-back while Sergio Reguilon continues on the other flank as the left-back. Ten Hag will ask both of them to keep things solid defensively and offer some decent service from the wide areas.
Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane will be named on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Sofyan Amrabat and Scott McTominay will anchor the midfield for Man United as they try to win the possession at the centre of the park.
The talented trio of Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount will function just ahead of them as part of ten Hag’s attack. Both Fernandes and Mount need to figure out a way to create a few inviting chances for their teammates to score.
Fecundo Pellistri and Alejandro Garnacho will be named on ten Hag’s bench as they wait for a chance to impress in the second half.
Attack
Marcus Rashford will lead the line for the Red Devils on the attacking end of the field. He would be desperate to make a difference for Man United in this away encounter.
Anthony Martial will be available for selection on the bench.
