United’s chaotic dysfunction makes for compelling viewing. Their players seem set on playing for personal pride rather than out of any love for Jose Mourinho, while Mourinho himself is enduring a constant struggle to find a cohesive set-up that’ll get the best out of his expensive squad.

Defeat to Juventus was depressing yet not unexpected. Defeat to Everton on Sunday, though, would be the latest nail in the Mourinho coffin – and there’d be no shortage of supporters who’d want to hammer it in themselves.

Despite that, this is a fixture United tend to win. Everton have just one win at Old Trafford in the last decade (a 1-0 victory in the 2013/14 season). Otherwise, the Toffees have lost seven and drawn twice.

Everton go into the game in decent form. Since their 2-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium, a result many agreed was harsh, they’ve won three straight games in the Premier League, scoring seven and conceding just once.

Marco Silva has had some success deploying Richarlison as a striker, with an attacking three of Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bernard supporting him.

History is against Everton, but they have the pace and trickery to trouble an ailing United backline. Expect this one to be closely contested.
