Everton predicted XI vs Man United: Toffees aim to end home hoodoo against in-form Red Devils<\/p>\n
Everton host Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night, knowing this is a chance to reset the mood around their season.<\/p>\n
Everton started the weekend eighth in the Premier League table, firmly in the European conversation.<\/p>\n
Still, frustration is growing on Merseyside after six games without a win at home in all competitions. Another defeat under the lights would only worsen the unease.<\/p>\n
However, Everton have already beaten United once this season and will take confidence from that win when they welcome the resurgent Red Devils for this tantalising clash.<\/p>\n
Everton boss David Moyes returns to face his former club at a delicate time. The 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth before the break was particularly galling.<\/p>\n
Everton were in control before eight chaotic minutes flipped the game. A chance to consolidate a European push slipped away.<\/p>\n
Their home form is now a concern. They have lost five of their last nine Premier League matches on Merseyside, as many as in their previous 28.<\/p>\n
The new 52,000-seat arena is yet to feel like a fortress.<\/p>\n
In contrast, their away record has been excellent. It is the inconsistency at Hill Dickinson Stadium that is holding them back.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Man United arrive in very different spirits. Since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim, United have rediscovered rhythm and resilience.<\/p>\n
No side has collected more points in 2026.<\/p>\n
A stoppage-time equaliser from Benjamin Sesko at West Ham United extended their unbeaten run and underlined a growing belief. United are playing with freedom again.<\/p>\n
Everton are looking to complete just their second Premier League double over Manchester United after 2013\/14. But the Toffees must be wary.<\/p>\n
United have 19 away wins and 42 overall victories against Everton in the Premier League, more than any team has against another in the competition\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
Everton have lost five of their last nine home league games (W2, D2) while United are unbeaten in their last nine top-flight matches (W5, D4), their longest such run since 2021.<\/p>\n
Jake O\u2019Brien is suspended following his red card against Bournemouth, forcing a reshuffle in defence.<\/p>\n
Long-term absentee Jack Grealish remains sidelined, but Seamus Coleman is back in contention and could return at right-back<\/a>.<\/p>\n More likely, Moyes will roll with Scottish international (15-caps) Nathan Patterson at right-back. Tyrique George<\/a>, 20, should retain his place in the attack.<\/p>\n Idrissa Gueye is available despite his dismissal at Old Trafford, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be eager to haunt United again after scoring the winner in November.<\/p>\n Jordan Pickford; Nathan Patterson, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko; Idrissa Gueye, James Garner; Tyrique George, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye; Thierno Barry.<\/p>\nEverton predicted XI (4-2-3-1)<\/h2>\n
