After a difficult start to life under Erik ten Hag, United are back on form and could feasibly win a trophy alongside qualifying for next season’s Champions League. While there is still a long way to go of course, there is a real feeling of momentum in the United ranks.
Everton, meanwhile, are teetering on the brink of yet another crisis. Frank Lampard is under serious pressure and while the focus is clearly on the Premier League, a dismal loss at Old Trafford would be another big blow.
