Peep!
Off we go in Manchester!!!
Here come the teams!
Old Trafford is ready for the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Everton.
United captain Harry Maguire leads his team-mates out to the pitch in front of a rocking home crowd.
Seamus Coleman follows with the Toffees' esteemed armband around his arm.
Not long to go now...
Iwobi's career best
Everton ace Alex Iwobi is enjoying a standout season amid his club's woes.
Iwobi ranks top for possession won in the final third with 26 touches, and the same goes for chances created (47) and successful take-ons (41).
The versatile winger has registered career-high numbers in possession won and chances created.
The ex-Arsenal ace will be crucial for Sean Dyche's team today at Old Trafford.
Do or Dy
Sean Dyche is the seventh Everton manager to take charge of the team in their last seven visits at Old Trafford after Ronald Koeman, Marco Silva, Duncan Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez and Frank Lampard.
Dyche won 2-0 at his last travel with Burnley in January 2020 and could become the first English head coach to win away against United in the Premier League with two different clubs.
However, the 51-year-old tactician has won only one of his last 20 Premier League away games as a manager.
So far, Dyche counts three wins and three losses in all of his nine matches as Everton boss.
On the Marc
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford continues to shine under manager Erik ten Hag.
Rashford has scored 19 goals at Old Trafford this season, which is the most by a Red Devils player since Wayne Rooney also netted 19 in the 2011-2012 season.
The forward has registered a league-high 11 goals since the end of the 2022 World Cup.
However, the England international has failed to score in any of his 12 Premier League appearances against Everton.
Everton stats
Everton are 16th in the Premier League table with the same points as 18th Bournemouth, who are in the relegation zone.
But things are looking up as the Toffees have earned 12 points from their nine Prem games under Sean Dyche, after accruing just five in their last nine under current Chelsea interim boss Frank Lampard.
However, the Merseysiders have won just two of their last 31 away league matches, of which they have lost 20.
If the visitors don't win today then they will remain winless in 13 successive away fixtures across all competitions for the first time since 1981.
Everton formation
Everton manager Sean Dyche appears to have opted for a 4-1-4-1 formation against Manchester United.
Jordan Pickford starts in goal with captain Seamus Coleman at right-back and Ben Godfrey on the other side, while Michael Keane and James Tarkowski link up at centre-back.
Idrissa Gueye plays at No6 with the midfield duo of Alex Iwobi and Amadou Onana ahead of him, while Demarai Gray covers the right flank with Dwight McNeil on the other side.
Finally, Ellis Simms spearheads the Toffees' frontline.
