United's 24 games unbeaten run must continue against Everton

Reading Time: 3min | Sat. 08.04.23. | 11:24

Manchester United's last home defeat happened in September 2022

Manchester United is in poor form. After three matches without a win (only a point), the team from Old Trafford last week beat Brentford at home 1:0, so they escaped fifth-placed Tottenham by three points, with a match in hand. The goal is the Champions League, and in addition to winning the League Cup, Erik ten Hag's team is also competing for the FA Cup and the Europa League. So, a game tonight against struggling Everton is a good fixture to have at Old Trafford.

The Toffies have the same number of points as Bournemouth, who are in a position that leads to the Championship, and the battle for Premier League security will last until the end. Sean Dyche has woken up the team, but they still face ‘hell’ over the next nine rounds. Every point until the end of the championship is worth its weight in gold for the team Liverpool. Everton are unbeaten in four rounds (three draws).

Casemero is still suspended due to the red card, but the good news for Ten Hag is that Christian Eriksen has recovered from injury. He will be on the field today after a two-month break.

"We were afraid we had lost him for the whole season, but he has been doing well and he is coming back to the team. He is available for the finish" Ten Hag said.

Luke Shaw is injured. The English international experienced bad luck last week in the duel with Brentford. Dyche cannot count on midfielder Abdoulaye Dacoure, who is starting a three-match suspension for a red card. Tom Davies or James Garner will replace the Mali representative. Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has recovered from injury but is not yet ready to take his place in the team.

United have been fantastic at home this season. Since the defeat against Sociedad at the start of the Europa League at the beginning of September, the famous club has tied 24 matches without defeat at Old Trafford. Everton hasn't won away from Goodison for 11 games since Round 1 last year. The Toffies celebrated only once on the road in this championship, while the previous two duels outside their stadium were tied. Manchester won both times against today's rival this season, in the Premier League by 2:1, while in the FA Cup, it was 3:1 for Erik ten Hag's team.
