Currently the side with the longest unbeaten streak in the Premier League, Manchester United will look to extend that run when they visit Merseyside to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.
Everton suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth in their last Premier League outing.
Benjamin Sesko struck late to secure a point for United in the 1-1 stalemate at West Ham United last time out in the Premier League.
Match preview
Following their 1-0 win at Old Trafford in November, Everton are looking to complete just their second Premier League double over Manchester United after 2013/14, with current boss David Moyes in charge of the Red Devils in those games.
Manchester United have more away wins (19) and more wins overall (42) against Everton than any team has against another in Premier League history.
This is the third time United are facing a side twice on a Monday within the same season in Premier League history, after 1992/93 (W2 vs Coventry) and 1994/95 (W1 D1 vs Chelsea).
The Toffees have lost five of their last nine Premier League home games (W2 D2), as many as they had in their previous 28 (W12 D11).
The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games (W5 D4), their longest run without defeat since a 14-game streak between January and May 2021. Meanwhile, they are the only side still unbeaten in 2026, with no side earning more Premier League points (15).
Man Utd boss Michael Carrick played 25 times in the Premier League under Everton’s David Moyes during the 2013/14 campaign. Carrick will be the third person to have played under Moyes and then face him as manager in the Premier League (after Mikel Arteta and David Unsworth), with only Alex Ferguson facing more former players in the competition (5 – Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Roy Keane, and Steve Bruce).
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored Everton’s winner against Man Utd in the reverse fixture this season. The last English player to score in both of the Toffees’ league meetings with the Red Devils in a campaign was Andy King in 1978/79.
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 10 goals in his last nine away Premier League appearances (2 goals, 8 assists). His eight away assists this season are the joint most by a Red Devils player in a single season, along with Ryan Giggs in 2001/02.
