Pogba and Rashford start in United’s Double Gameweek 35 opener

Everton v Manchester United is the first of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday afternoon. Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 13:30 BST.

There were few shocks upon the release of the two teamsheets, with Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard demoted to the United bench after less-than-impressive performances against Barcelona in midweek.

Paul Pogba starts his 17th Premier League match in a row under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku forming the visitors’ front three.

We’ll likely see one of Victor Lindelof or Phil Jones at full-back again given that Young is among the substitutes and Luke Shaw is suspended.

Alexis Sanchez is also on the bench for the Red Devils.

Everton’s two changes were widely expected, with Michael Keane returning at centre-half in place of Phil Jagielka and the fit-again Morgan Schneiderlin stepping in for the suspended Andre Gomes in midfield.

Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bernard will once again be providing support for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack.

Manchester United are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 27, while Everton have five in that time. Manchester City are the only Premier League side to have registered more shut-outs than the Toffees this calendar year.

United were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture of today’s match.

Pogba bagged a goal and assist but also saw a penalty saved by Jordan Pickford, who walked away with three bonus points despite conceding on two occasions.

Richarlison and Sigurdsson combined for Everton’s goal that day and those two FPL midfielders, who were each sold by over 100,000 managers in the run-up to Gameweek 35, have 30 attacking returns between them in 2018/19.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United XI (4-3-3): De Gea, Lindelof, Smalling, Jones, Dalot, Matic, Fred, Pogba, Rashford, Lukaku, Martial.

    Ole is fed up and awaiting the sack. So he can claim a good payout and get back to Molde.

    I am actually starting to think that Jose was correct. Finishing second with this players is one of his best achievements.

      Just walked out of the ground which I’ve never done early but I wasn’t sitting through any more of that. We were terrible but Everton were brilliant, just wanted it more and executed every chance.

      Bad times.

        The ref has not helped us

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          The ref is the least of your concerns

        2. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah I felt like first half we just weren’t getting decisions from where I was sat. Just run of the mill routine calls and it didn’t help.

        3. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years

          Lol. Should have given some penalties.. 5 at least.

          A UTD fan moaning because the ref hasn't helped them. You couldn't way it up 😆

        Making Everton look better than Barca and PSG combined

        1. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          In the first half they had about 4 corners in the first ten mins and every one found their man. Our first corner = trash.

      When Walcott scores to make it 4-0 against you , then you know it’s a bad day at the office.
