Manchester United will travel to Goodison Park on Sunday, November 26, to face an Everton side reeling from a point deduction that has left them in a relegation fight.
Everton’s recent punishment has sent shockwaves around the Premier League, and the Toffees now face the daunting task of rebuilding their momentum from scratch. Their task is made even more difficult by the fact that they face a Manchester United side that is also struggling for consistency.
United have won and lost games in almost equal measure this season, and manager Erik ten Hag remains under intense scrutiny. The Red Devils’ task is further complicated by a growing injury list that has left them far from full strength.
Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martínez are all completely out of contention, while Rasmus Højlund, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Facundo Pellistri, and André Onana remain doubts. Luke Shaw is back for United, but he is unlikely to play the entire 90 minutes. Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane have also fallen out of favor with ten Hag.
Everton’s injury list is not as extensive, but they are still without Dele Alli, Seamus Coleman, and Andre Gomes. Crucially, doubt remains on the fitness of star midfielder Amadou Onana, with the club set to make a decision closer to kickoff.
Despite their injuries, United will be looking to take advantage of Everton’s fragile state. The Red Devils have a good record against the Toffees, having won 40 of the 63 meetings between the two sides. Everton have only won eight.
The match will be played at Goodison Park on Sunday, November 26, at 10:00 PM IST. It will be televised on Star Sports 1 in India and streamed live on the Disney+ Hotstar app.
