Manchester United XI vs Everton: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, latest Premier League injuries today

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no fresh injury problems ahead of Manchester United's must-win game at Everton this afternoon, but does have some selection dilemmas.

United head into Saturday's Premier League clash at Goodison Park looking to avoid a third straight defeat after being beaten by Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir.

The pressure is on Solskjaer with Mauricio Pochettino being linked to the Old Trafford hotseat, so it is likely that the United boss will rely on his core players on Merseyside.

Alex Telles is available once again having recently self-isolated after contracting coronavirus, but a lack of team training means he may only be on the bench.

Victor Lindelof is a doubt, which means Axel Tuanzebe could retain his starting role alongside Harry Maguire.

David de Gea is expected to come back in after Dean Henderson started in Turkey, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is almost certain to play at right-back.

Midfield is more tricky, though Fred and Scott McTominay could continue at the expense of Paul Pogba.

Bruno Fernandes is almost undroppable for Solskjaer, while Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial - the latter available again after serving a three-game suspension - should complete the attack.

Manchester United predicted XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Martial

Everton predicted XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne; Doucoure, Allan, Sigurdsson; James Rodriguez, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi
