Manchester United host Everton at Old Trafford as they aim to continue their recent resurgence. The Red Devils registered stunning back-to-back victories against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City in 3 days, a run of form that has eased the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Norwegian's position had come under immense scrutiny after a series of underwhelming results, but two morale-boosting victories against two quality sides have put the record English champions back in contention for a place in the Premier League top four. Everton, on the other hand, are coming on the back of an unexpected victory themselves, as Duncan Ferguson oversaw a 3-1 victory against Chelsea in his first game as interim manager.
Manchester United vs Everton Head-to-head
Manchester United are aiming to win 3 Premier League games on the bounce for the first time since January 2019 and at the time, Solskjaer had only taken over the reins at the club on an interim basis.
