Manchester United’s push for Champions League football next season rolls on Monday night when they travel at Hill Dickinson Stadium to take on Everton in Matchweek 27 of the Premier League.
The Red Devils currently sit fifth after Chelsea’s draw with Burnley lifted them level on 45 points, nudging United down a spot on goal difference.
Still, the visitors head to Merseyside in fine shape. Interim boss Michael Carrick has steadied the ship superbly since taking over from Ruben Amorim, held just once in his five games in charge – collecting four wins and that single draw.

That slip came in their last outing, a 1-1 away result at West Ham where Benjamin Sesko’s late strike snatched a point.
United are now eyeing a 10th consecutive league game without defeat and will be desperate to reclaim a top-four spot as the season enters its decisive phase.
Everton, meanwhile, still harbour dreams of European football for the first time since 2017–18.
A 2-1 home loss to Bournemouth last time out ended their four-match unbeaten streak, but they began the weekend just three points off seventh place a spot likely to secure continental qualification come May.

That said, David Moyes’s men have struggled in recent weeks on their own turf, losing three of their last five at Goodison (to Arsenal, Brentford, and Bournemouth).
They are also yet to keep a home clean sheet since their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest back in early December.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the clash plus a few tips if you’re planning a flutter on SportPesa.
What time does Everton vs Manchester United kick off?

For the visitors, Patrick Dorgu remains sidelined after picking up a muscle injury during the 3-2 win at Arsenal in January.
Matthijs de Ligt and Mason Mount have also been absent in recent weeks, though Carrick has hinted Mount is nearing a return.
De Ligt is making progress too as he works his way back from a back issue that’s kept him out since late November.
Everton will be without Jake O’Brien following his red card against Bournemouth, but Seamus Coleman is available again and pushing for a start at right-back. Jack Grealish (foot) is their only other absentee.

Everton vs Man United head-to-head record and recent meetings
Everton are aiming to complete their first Premier League double over United after their 1-0 win at Old Trafford in November a game remembered as much for David Moyes’s first league victory at his old stomping ground since 2013 as it was for Idrissa Gueye’s bizarre red card.
This will be the 217th meeting between the two sides. United lead the all-time head-to-head with 97 wins to Everton’s 72, while 48 games have ended all square.

Everton vs Man United prediction and betting tips
United have more away wins (19) and more victories overall (42) against Everton than any other side has managed against a single opponent in Premier League history.
Everton have lost five of their last nine home league games (W2 D2) as many as they had in their previous 28 at Goodison (W12 D11).
The Red Devils have also registered more shots than anyone else in the Premier League this season (417), their highest average per game (16) since 2011–12 (17).
Everton, by contrast, are averaging just 3.3 shots on target per game their second-lowest return in a single campaign since 1997–98, better only than 2017–18 (3.2).
Given their current form, United travel as favourites to win and bag all three points and take them back to Manchester. But after what happened in the reverse fixture, you’d be foolish to write off the Toffees especially at home.
This one has the makings of a lively contest. With both sides capable of finding the net, fans should expect at least a couple of goals if not more provided the chances are taken.
