Both sides badly need the points and one could end the weekend with a grim feeling that they’ll be outside the elite next season, albeit different contexts of what elite represents for both Everton and Manchester United right now.
The Toffees are desperate for points to beat the drop and avoid the relegation zone, but they have just a one-point buffer at the bottom of the Premier League. At the other end, Man United want to get back into the Champions League but are three points and places off the pace of the top four, following a run of one win in four.
Richarlison netted a couple of penalties in midweek but open play goals have been hard to come by for Frank Lampard’s team; that needs to change fast if they are to remain in the top flight.
United have been scoring a few but conceding plenty as well, nine in the last five league games to be precise, and they can ill-afford any further slip-ups.
