Is Everton vs Manchester United on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture
Everton host Manchester United in the Premier League’s early kick-off, with the visitors desperately hoping that this match can kickstart a bid to salvage their season.
Ruben Amorim’s side have fallen to 15th since the Portuguese took over, with just four wins from 14 league games, and news of injuries to Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo have further compounded issues.
Contrastingly, Everton have made a return to form since David Moyes re-joined the club in January, with the Toffees now 13 points above the relegation zone with 13 points from their last six.
Everton currently sit one point above United and could move four clear of the Red Devils with a win, and while it matters little in the grand scheme of the season, it would be another fine result in the Merseyside club’s protracted farewell to Goodison Park.
