  1. Struggles in front of goalpublished at 11:55 British Summer Time 9 April 2022

    Everton v Man Utd (12:30 BST)

    Scoring goals has been a problem for Everton this season.

    Only the three teams in the relegation zone and Brighton have scored fewer than Everton's 32 goals.

    So far in April they have scored three - but lost both of those games to Burnley and West Ham.

    Before that, they had scored just one goal in four matches in all competitions.

    Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has failed to score in all nine Premier League appearances in 2022.

    While Richarlison - who is Everton's top scorer in the league at Goodison Park this season with three goals - has not scored at home since December.

    Forward Danny Ings will return for Aston Villa after missing the Wolves loss because of the birth of his child.

    Defenders Kortney Hause and Lucas Digne should also be available, while Marvelous Nakamba will return to the squad after four months out.

    Tottenham wing-back Sergio Reguilon returns from a knee injury but this game comes too soon for Ryan Sessegnon.

    Midfielder Oliver Skipp has suffered a relapse of his hip issue while Japhet Tanganga is out for the season.

  4. Can Man Utd keep clean sheet?published at 11:47 British Summer Time 9 April 2022

    Everton v Man Utd (12:30 BST)

    Manchester United have won only three of their last 11 matches in all competitions (drawing six, losing two).

    But they have not lost many under Ralf Rangnick. Out of the 16 Premier League games he has been in charge, United have lost just two.

    They have scored in 21 consecutive away games in all competitions but can they keep a clean sheet for the first time since February?

    Aleksander: Am I the only one who wouldn't REALLY miss Everton in the Prem? One of the most soulless arenas in the ground and the Merseyside Derby has become the most overrated derby in my opinion.

    Southampton's on-loan top scorer Armando Broja is ineligible to face his parent club.

    Goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is nearing a return after almost four months out with a hamstring injury, while Shane Long is struggling with an ankle issue.

    Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech have "little problems" and the pair face late fitness tests.

    Callum Hudson-Odoi remains sidelined with back and Achilles issues.

    Defender Ben Chilwell is the only long-term absentee.

  8. Dangerous territory for Evertonpublished at 11:38 British Summer Time 9 April 2022

    Everton v Man Utd (12:30 BST)

    It's a big game for Everton.

    The hosts are one point above the relegation zone after the midweek defeat to fellow strugglers Burnley.

    They have a pretty tough run in with away trips to Liverpool and Arsenal and home games against Chelsea and an in-form Crystal Palace side. They also play Leicester City twice.

    Nick: Big game for the Toffees but Man U are a very pale shadow of their former sides, so confident of 3 points for the home side.

    Richard: Welcome to the "Liverpool are laughing at us!" derby! One's a team of overpaid flops, league one defenders and relegation candidates with expectations far above their quality and the other is Everton!

  13. 'Still hope for Everton'published at 11:25 British Summer Time 9 April 2022

    I watched Everton in their defeat by Burnley on Wednesday and there is nothing wrong with their effort and attitude. They work extremely hard and you can see what it means to them.

    Unfortunately for the Toffees, they are lacking quality when it matters - at both ends.

    There is still hope for Everton, though, starting on Saturday. Their home form means they will be more confident at Goodison and Manchester United are still horribly inconsistent.

    United are the better team, but Everton have to treat this like a cup tie and throw everything at it.

    Prediction: 1-1

    Arsenal will be without Thomas Partey after the midfielder sustained a thigh injury in the defeat to Crystal Palace.

    Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney remain out, with the latter undergoing surgery on his left knee this week.

    Brighton could welcome back Adam Webster after the defender missed the last six games with a calf issue.

    The battle for European qualification is hotting up as Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United are all in action today.

    Third-placed Chelsea have a five-point lead over Spurs, who are level on points with rivals Arsenal.

    Manchester United have played a game extra than Arsenal but can go level on points, at least for a few hours, if they beat Everton in the early kick-off.
