Manchester United have won six matches in a row in all competitions, and have kept four straight clean sheets.
They host an Everton team which haven’t won in seven matches. The Toffees have drawn just twice in that period, and fell to an embarrassing loss to Brighton a few days ago.
Both teams have injury concerns. Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho are out for the hosts, with Anthony Martial and Antony considered as doubts.
Everton manager Frank Lampard is without Nathan Patterson, Andros Townsend and Michael Keane.
Win To Nil: Manchester United
Everton have failed to score in four of their last six away matches.
Manchester United’s defence has been rock-solid of late, and should be at full strength for this match with Lisandro Martinez expected to partner Raphael Varane at the back.
The Red Devils have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine home fixtures in all competitions.
There is nothing about this Everton attack which suggests it can enjoy much success at Old Trafford on Friday night.
Anytime Goalscorer: Marcus Rashford
It’s now four goals in four matches for Marcus Rashford since returning from Qatar.
Those strikes have been split evenly across the quartet of matches, with Rashford exhibiting the best form of his career beyond his goal-scoring ability.
Everton’s defence crumbled against Brighton, so it is hard to see how they keep Rashford quiet for 90 minutes in this form.
We’ve been rolling with the England international of late, and he remains good value to find the net.
Half Time/Full Time: Manchester United/Manchester United
Manchester United have been leading at half-time and full-time in their last three home matches.
Ten Hag’s team have been starting strongly recently, a trend which should continue in this match.
Don’t be surprised if the Red Devils have this wrapped up by half-time.
