What is the team news?
Following a knee operation, centre-back Phil Jones remains an absentee for United. Up top, Edinson Cavani is fit for the Red Devils but may start on the bench, and Eric Bailly is a doubt in central defence.
For Everton, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is still out injured, but midfielder Allan has returned to training.
Predicted line-ups
Man United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford, Martial
Everton: Olsen, Holgate, Mina, Godfrey, Digne, Doucoure, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin
Odds
Man United: 1/2
Draw: 10/3
Everton: 11/2
Prediction
Buoyed by their 9-0 thrashing of Southampton, United will be full of confidence here. Everton are not in bad form by any means and should make this a competitive game, but the hosts will expect to have enough quality to take all three points. Man United 2-1 Everton.
