Manchester United are coming on the back of a scintillating win against Southampton where they managed to score nine goals without any reply from the saints.
Ole and his team would be looking to keep this form going on as they would want to mount a suitable title challenge with city rivals eclipsing them in the last few games

TEAM NEWS
This Manchester United side looks like they are back on track but one will have to see if they can be consistent enough with their results from here on.
Edinson Cavani was substituted in the game against Southampton and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer confirmed that it was a precautionary measure taken because of a knock that he had received in the first half of the game.
We will have to see if Cavani is a feature in this game or not.

KEY BATTLE
Harry Maguire vs Dominic Calvert Lewin
Dominic Calvert Lewin is always a grave threat in the air and we know how vulnerable Manchester United has been from set-pieces through this season.
Harry Maguire and the defence of Manchester United can be vulnerable from such attacks and it seems like it would be a match-up of who can show their dominance in the air.
Everton has also been going through a bit of a rough patch and this could be a really interesting game.
MATCH PREDICTION
Manchester United have put in a great performance last time around when they were helped by some rash Southampton decision making especially in the early minutes of the game. They put their foot on the accelerator and showed no mercy to their opponents. Everton will pose a different kind of challenge to them.
Carlo Ancelotti is a prime tactician and would be closely looking to hurt them where they are most vulnerable with the likes of James Rodrigues and Dominic Calvert Lewin.
The last few games of Manchester United have been a roller coaster for the fans as well as the staff due to their unpredictable results but we predict that Manchester United can go on to win 2-1 at Old Trafford this time around.
