How Manchester United could line up against Everton

Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat to Juventus in the Champions League when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

United have only won one of their last seven matches in all competitions, and are currently down in 10th position in the Premier League table, nine points off division leaders Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho's side have won just two of their seven home matches in all competitions this term, meanwhile, and there is no question that there is pressure on the 20-time English champions entering this weekend's match.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how United – unbeaten at home to Everton since December 2013 – could line up on Sunday afternoon.


POSS UTDXI

Out: Alexis Sanchez (addubctor), Diogo Dalot (knock), Marouane Fellaini (groin), Scott McTominay (knee)
Doubtful: Antonio Valencia (mouth surgery), Marcos Rojo (knock)

United are expected to welcome Jesse Lingard back into their starting XI, with the England international available once again following a month on the sidelines with a groin problem. Marouane Fellaini, Scott McTominay and Alexis Sanchez, however, remain unavailable for selection.

Lingard could return to the front three alongside in-form Anthony Martial, who has three goals in his last two Premier League appearances, and Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku is without a goal in his last eight games at club level, but will not be rested.

Victor Lindelof had arguably his best game in a United shirt against Juventus during the week, and the Swede will again partner Chris Smalling at centre-back, with Ashley Young expected to start on the right.

Fred has struggled to make his mark at United following a summer move, and the Brazilian could again find himself on the bench, with Juan Mata impressive against Chelsea last weekend.

Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, meanwhile, will both keep their spots in the middle of the midfield.
