Manchester United vs Everton: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch

The Slovenia international is facing up to a month on the sidelines, meaning he is set to miss games against Crystal Palace, West Ham and potentially Wolves.

Harry Maguire also picked up a knock in north London and will play no part on Monday night having failed to recover in time.

To avoid the crap betting rubbish, just set up or bookmark https://www.ToffeeWeb.com/comments/ as your entry to ToffeeWeb, it gets rid of all of the money-grabbing rubbish.

We would be shitting on them now from the top of the Hill Dicky South Stand. That's a mad stat re Nottm Forest!!!

Seamus to start. Garner back in position. ToffeeWeb to shut down.

1 only of those 3 may happen.

Low block, fullbacks tucked in, wide men deep, two central midfielders parked in front of the centreback and long balls out of defence in the hope the lone striker can chase it and gain possession.

It may work for 40-50 minutes, it never succeeds. But the manager has tried doing the same thing for over 20 years.

Time for more intent as they are not a very good team.

I am old enough to remember the team the performances and the results. Moyes has won 1 of his 78 league games away to Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

If he sets up as he has always done, as he did at Anfield this season, then we will lose.

Moyes will make his usual sub, Beto for Barry on 70 minutes, then make another in the 85-minute, when we are 2 or 3 down. I'm not looking forward to it, but here's hopin!COYB

Thanks!

You might be forgiven for thinking that, after one win in 78 games at the homes of them, Man-Utd, Arsenal, and Chelsea, that Mr Moyes might for once question how he goes about preparing and setting his team up.

But Amorim already knows how Moyes will set us up tomorrow. Wouldn't it be lovely if we surprised him? If, for instance, Moyes put a team on the pitch to win rather than not to lose and said "Go for it, boys!"

But it will be cagey, I suspect, and it will be cautious, and if we go a goal behind, the safety-first plan ought to be ripped to pieces... but we still hope. There's always hope. So, perhaps by this time tomorrow, Moysey's win rate at those four clubs will leap from 1.28% all the way up to 2.54%.

1.28%...

In Ndiaye, Grealish, and Dewsbury-Hall, we have three players who can hurt their very ordinary defence, especially as Maguire will not start.

I have watched quite a lot of their games this season and they are very ordinary. The danger man for them is Mbeumo and, because of that, I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Brien start in this one.

Pickford
O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko
Garner, Gueye, Dewsbury-Hall
Ndiaye, Barry, Grealish.

'Moyes's Attacking Master Class stuns United'. It'll break the Internet.

To be fair, they are on a decent run right now and a win tomorrow would move them up to 4th or 5th.

But I agree with you, Laurie. With the right approach, we could win there tomorrow, although it's sometimes hard to push that 1-in-78 horror show to the back of the mind.

Worse still, it's quite likely to be at the front of the gaffer's mind. He's human, after all, and as The Human League reminded us, humans are 'born to make mistakes'.

I am hoping Barry will react to the encouragement he got as he came off last game. This would be a good game for him to open his account for us. I also reckon Garner might get on the scoresheet with a shot from outside the box.

As for Moyes, the thing that frustrates me so much about him (apart from him starting his press conferences with a cup of tea), is I think he is capable of so much more.

Maybe he should go there with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove after all the hammer he has taken over his record there with us and with them.

I am still at a loss as to why Alcaraz and Dibling are continually being overlooked, bar insignificant cameos off the bench.

COYB 👍💙💙

His record against the best teams at home is so much better (it couldn't really be any worse, I know) so, when I look at things logically, then it's only the bear-pit that used to be Goodison that could really inspire his players.

When you ain't got nothing -- you've got nothing to lose. Play tight, play clever, play to frustrate, but ultimately you have got to play to win, otherwise it is never gonna fucking happen, imho.

He goes on to say he knew the team needed fixing yet the first thing he did there was get rid of the coaching staff and bring his own team in to fix them.

Moyes, if your talent was as big as your ego, you would have won everything!!! Alas, your negative nature always got the better of you.

Go out and at least try and win tonight, for fuck's sake, and give that whinging nature of yours a fuckin' night off for the sake of our brilliant away fans and the rest of us.

So if thats the case, how you going to hurt a side if you lack quality, pace or physicality in attacking play?

I cant stand watching us play anti football, but if we open up away from home we will get hammered.

We don't have a centre forward that can score. We lack true pace out wide. We offer nothing at full back. We lack a top central midfielder talisman. Our centre halves are vulnerable without protection in front of them. We don't have enough goal scorers regardless of manager. We are bang average.

Their shear arrogance and disrespect drive me flaming mad.

Please Everton turn up tonight and give them a proper hiding.

1 in 78 is a shocking stat! Not realistically expecting 2 in 79 by the end of the day but hope so for those travelling along the East Lancs Road. UTT

I'm not into moaning about our manager before the game's even started, that can wait until afterwards. We have enough quality players to hurt them. We shouldn't be fearful, they're just a mid-table team, like us.

COYB!

I do wish people would stop complaining about the site -- yes, it's different... but just post like before, that's what I come on for, other people's opinions.

Michael is doing his best to stir up interest, just come on and effing post and it will return to what it was.

It's this type of comment that has helped take this website back years, imo.

We are obviously lacking in a couple of areas so it's both frustrating and also very unfortunate that one of those areas is up front. When I look at our squad, then I genuinely believe that Everton have got more than enough quality to hurt teams... but I often wonder if we have got the belief?

I also question “our togetherness” but this is because I don't believe that David Moyes works hard enough on keeping everyone interested.

The one game he did win was away at Arsenal, for West Ham.

If you want to persuade people don't trot out the same tired, old excuses we have heard for 23 years.

What does a player for a top 6 look like as many United fans question the quality of many of their players?

For me they currently only have six or seven of the type that Ian mentions and two of those Yoro and Diallo would most likely be on the bench if managed by David Moyes.

This game doesn't revolve around them it revolves around us. If we set up like we did against City all results are possible, if we set up as we did at Anfield only one outcome is inevitable.

I saw Moyes interview too. He criticizes United for constantly hiring and firing managers and says things were settled and stable when Fergie was there.

Then he says when he arrived it needed fixing even though he directly replaced Fergie who seemingly had everything running smoothly.

Which is it Moyesy? You can't suck up to Fergie and then say you inherited a mess.

Regarding tonight, let's go there with a positive attitude and believe we can beat them, our record is shocking there but they are very beatable plus if we beat them we've got the added bonus of going above the RS, come on Blues we can do it!!

"Knife to a gunfight" says it all. No difference tonight.

He could do some damage.

We just do not have that positive approach to our play. If you don't start that way at least give it a go for 30 minutes. Our substitutions are always like-for-like players. No imagination!!

Please show some level of positive intent.

It's our abysmal record there and the other grounds we know what will happen that makes me carry that stigma.

I'd love to really ask Moyes what Alcaraz has to do to start because it seems to me he doesn't really fancy him, or is that just me.

Obviously I'd love just love us to win but I think deep down we really all know the outcome before a ball has been kicked, ditto Arsenal Liverpool City Spurs and Chelsea, it's embarrassing and downright depressing.

Oh one other thing, United will get a soft penalty at some time.

I think we are going to cause them all sorts of problems tonight, their defense is shaky and we have talent.

We normally get bugger all at OT but perhaps thats about to change.

Hope young Barry can break his duck and you can bet Jack is dying to score against Utd.

Moyes.

1 directional tactics.

Bizzare player selection.

No attacking threat allowed.

One outcome.

I will watch from behind the couch horrified by what I am seeing.

COYB

I will be watching like every other Evertonian hoping against hope that the match doesn’t pan out that way.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see us set up to go for the win. Yeah I know that’s just not going to happen.

Anyway, Moyes wasn't given long enough at Man Utd. They were always going to melt down after Fergie left and they needed someone functional to keep the ship the right way up. Unfortunately for Moyes, they panicked after 11 months and they're still playing catch up.

Let's face it, we'll lose this one. Either Man Utd will beat us or the referee will.

The best message that our players, manager and coaching staff could send out tonight, would be to stand up to Manchester United, and change the story that a lot of the sycophantic media, have probably already got written down.

We have got two massive games this week, so wouldn’t it be lovely to see Everton, take six points and put themselves into the pack of teams that are chasing European football.

Genius Christy! Who will win the 2026 Grand National mate?
