The loss to Bournemouth earlier this week was a killer. Those were points that Everton likely counted on. Now, they have to host Manchester United, and hope to pull points from Jose “Park the Bus” Mourinho. It’s not impossible, but it feels damn close.

This is the second meeting between these two sides in this campaign. Back in September, the Red Devils stomped the Toffees 4-0, with goals coming from Antonio Valencia, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial.

However, this is now a United team that is struggling with health and depth. This was expected to be a homecoming for Lukaku, but a nasty head injury last time out likely means that he will remain on the sidelines for this one.
