Everton welcomes Manchester United to Goodison Park in what could be a season defining match for both teams. The home team are in 17th position with 25 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 51 points. Everton had a soul crushing 3-2 defeat to fellow strugglers Burnley in their last match. This result means that Burnley are now within a point of the Toffees. Everton have played the same number of games as Burnley but have a game in hand over the last two teams on the table. They had a 1-0 win over Newcastle in their last home match but haven’t had consecutive home wins since September. Everton have won just one of their last 13 league matches against United, losing six and drawing six. They have lost seven times in their 14 home matches and only the three promoted sides have lost more home matches this season.

Manchester United had a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Leicester in their last match and now find themselves in seventh position, three points behind a top four position. United have only won one of their last four league matches and are in serious danger of missing out on a Champions League place as Arsenal are three points ahead of them with a game in hand. They won 3-1 on their last visit to Goodison Park but have not had consecutive victories there since the 2007 season. Manchester United have scored in their last 16 away matches in the league, which is their longest run of scoring in away matches since 2018 when they went 18 matches.
