Manchester United will host Everton at Old Trafford in the English Premier League Matchday 28, on Saturday, March 9 at 1:30 WAT.
Preview
Erik ten Hag's men will be looking forward to getting back to winning ways after their recent back-to-back league setbacks.
The Red Devils had some outstanding form at the beginning of 2024, but 2-1 league defeats against Fulham and a 3-1 setback against Manchester City have left them with what looks like too much to do regarding a top-four finish. The gap between them and Aston Villa ahead of this weekend's game is a massive 11 points.
But with Aston Villa and fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur facing off this weekend, Manchester United have the opportunity to regain some ground over at least one of the sides above them.
Everton, on the other hand, are just as desperate for the points though as they contest to stop a horrible side that has sent them falling down the Premier League table again.
Despite getting a six points deduction by the Premier League, Sean Dyche's side are still just five points clear of third-bottom Luton Town having played more games.
The Merseyside team saw a 3-1 setback at the hands of West Ham United last week which made it seven games without a win in all competitions, their last victory in the Premier League was in mid-December 2023.
That's relegation form for Sam Dyche's side and will be demanding a response from his players at Old Trafford as they look to build some momentum ahead of Saturday's game.

The likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Tyrell Malacia remain on the sideline while Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, and Anthony Martial are longer-term absentees.
On the other hand, Everton hope to welcome Idrissa Gueye back from injury, but Arnaut Danjuma and Dele Alli remain out.
