Everton vs Man United
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Goodison Park
Kick-off time: 1:30pm BST
Manchester United will be looking to keep their top four hopes alive when they travel to Goodison Park to meet Marco Silva's Everton this afternoon.
United's form has dipped since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was handed the manager's job on a permanent basis, with five defeats in their last seven games in all competitions. They were knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona in midweek, and have work to do if they want to be back in Europe's premier club competition next season.
Currently sixth in the Premier League, Solskjaer's men sit two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, and have the daunting proposition of a Manchester derby against title-chasing rivals Man City to come next week.
Everton, meanwhile, had been showing signs of improvement after a run of three successive wins, including triumphs over Arsenal and Chelsea. However, last week's sorry defeat to already relegated Fulham has halted their momentum and left them a point of Leicester in seventh in the race to be the best of the rest.

Score prediction: Everton 1-1 Man United
United need a win to keep pace in the top four race, particularly with both Arsenal and Chelsea having very winnable home games, against Crystal Palace and Burnley respectively.
However, if Everton can make sure that last weekend's slip up was just that, they should trouble a side who were very lucky to beat West Ham at home last weekend.
