Manchester United and Everton face off this afternoon with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in real need of a win at Goodison Park.
United had appeared to turn a corner following their poor start to the Premier League season, beating PSG and RB Leipzig in the Champions League while tightening up a loose defence.
However, last weekend’s home loss to Arsenal was followed up with a European defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir to put the spotlight firmly back on Solskjaer.
While the club are backing Solskjaer amid growing speculation that Mauricio Pochettino is being readied to take over, a third straight defeat against a tough Toffees side coached by Carlo Ancelotti could leave the Red Devils with a big decision to make heading into the international break.

Everton vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 12:30pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, November 7 2020.

Prediction: Everton 1-1 Manchester United
The Red Devils have been short of form and confidence over the last week, but they really need to turn up for Solskjaer on Saturday. The big question is which Everton side will turn up: the one which won their opening four games, or the team which lost its last two. All signs point to a tense draw - but whether that will be enough for Solskjaer is another debate entirely.
