Manchester United Seek to Rekindle Winning Ways Against Everton on Monday Night.
A Manchester United side still searching for consistency under Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim will look to extend their five-game unbeaten run when they host Everton at Old Trafford. The draw against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur in the last two matches has raised eyebrows, but the three points from the four wins against Everton since February will boost United's hopes of finishing in the top four.
Everton, just three points behind Manchester United, are set to face a former club boss David Moyes, who is keen to get a result at Old Trafford. The Toffees have been steadily rising up the table under Moyes and are now in midst of rebuilding phase with an ambitious summer transfer window looming.
Matheus Cunha's scoring streak has played a key role in United's recent resurgence, but his fitness looks uncertain after missing a Christmas lights switch-on event following an accident during training. The 26-year-old forward is crucial for Brazil ahead of the World Cup next year and will be hoping to regain full fitness before then.
United are without Benjamin Sesko due to a knee injury and Harry Maguire has picked up an injury in the Spurs draw, while Lisandro Martinez is closing in on his return from Argentina. The side's predicted starting lineup features Casemiro and Fernandes but it remains to be seen how Cunha will adapt to fitness issues.
On the other hand, Everton will be missing Merlin Rohl after undergoing an operation for a hernia and Nathan Patterson and Jarrad Branthwaite are out with groin and hamstring injuries. The Toffees have been on a winning streak since January under Moyes and they look set to face United at Old Trafford.
The two teams last met in a preseason friendly where the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Since then, Manchester United has won all four matches against Everton with only two draws in between. However, Everton's recent form suggests that the match will be more competitive than anyone can predict.
