Manchester United Hosts Struggling Everton in Premier League Clash

Manchester United is set to host Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday, December 1, in a Premier League match that promises to be a crucial encounter for both teams. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United is looking to build on their recent 3-2 Europa League victory over Bodo/Glimt. This win marked Amorim’s first victory as the Red Devils’ head coach, following a draw in his debut against Ipswich Town.

Everton, managed by Sean Dyche, is struggling near the relegation zone, with only 11 points from 12 games. The Toffees have managed just two victories in the Premier League this season and are coming off a goalless draw against Brentford. They face significant injury concerns, with James Garner, Seamus Coleman, Youssef Chermiti, and Tim Iroegbunam all ruled out for the match. Armando Broja, on loan from Chelsea, might make his debut for Everton after recovering from an Achilles injury.

Manchester United has a strong recent record against Everton, having won the last five meetings between the two teams. The Red Devils are expected to field a strong lineup, with Andre Onana in goal, a back three likely including Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez, and a midfield that could feature Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo. Rasmus Hojlund, who scored twice against Bodo/Glimt, is expected to lead the attack alongside Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.

The match kicks off at 1:30 PM GMT (8:30 AM ET) and will be broadcast live on the USA Network for fans in the United States, with streaming options available on Fubo and the NBC Sports App.

Everton’s predicted lineup includes Jordan Pickford in goal, a defense featuring Ashley Young, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Michael Keane, and an attack led by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is looking to end his scoring drought.

The match is part of a busy Sunday in the Premier League, with other fixtures including Chelsea vs. Aston Villa, Tottenham vs. Fulham, and Liverpool vs. Manchester City.
