Everton take on Manchester United in the penultimate fixture of Gameweek 3.

Kick-off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is at 14:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Man Utd’s head coach, Michael Carrick, has unsurprisingly named an unchanged side after the victory over Ipswich Town last week.

Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Marcus Rashford and Bryan Mbeumo, the most-transferred out player of Gameweek 3, are all starting.

Mason Mount is fit enough to take his place on the bench.

As for Everton boss David Moyes, he makes only one alteration from Gameweek 2.

Brennan Johnson comes in to replace Iliman Ndiaye following his move to Manchester City.

Deadline day arrivals Jack Grealish and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are both substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Rohl, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Armstrong, Garner, Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Barry

Subs: Travers, Maitland-Niles, Keane, Grealish, O’Brien, Dibling, Alcaraz, Hackney, Graham

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Tielemans, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha

Subs: Darlow, Heaven, Mazraoui, Yoro, Santos, Dorgu, Mount, Sesko, Zirkzee

    Looks like Man Utd and Everton will be battling it out for the conference leagues places this season then. Terrible quality.

      If they’re lucky…2 very limited teams, awful fare

        Yeah, but at least Everton are always tough to beat.

      My grandma is better than him, and she's been dead for 20 years.

    A: Start all 3 of Haaland, Semenyo and Cherki and roll FT
    B: Brobbey -> Wissa/DCL/Barry and bench one of the above

      Probably A

      Easy A.

      Any of the B strikers could do well, but confident enough in them scoring higher enough compared to the City boys to be worth a FT? Not for me

    Bruno must feel hopless trying to press when Rashford and Mbeumo are just standing and watching...

      Out with my son so not watching the game. Is Bruno playing 10?

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        just now

        Yes but has to drop deeper frequently

      2. Ignasi M
        • 9 Years

        Yeah, kinda. Like a false 9 / number 10 hybrid

    Barry... absolute sitter missed. Open header from 10 yards

    Whats your thoughts of multiple players from same team?

    ie 3 Arsenal 3 Chelsea 2 city

    Is it better to spread the funds or is it just great having lots from those 3 teams?
