Manchester United travel to Goodison Park in hopes of overturning their bad fortune in the league following a harrowing 6-3 defeat at the hands of local nemeses Manchester City.
Erik ten Hag's troops have collected 12 points from 7 games (4 wins and 3 losses), lying at 8th place in the table.
Frank Lampard, unlike ten Hag, is not unfamiliar to the ways of the Premier League. After helping the Toffees avoid relegation at the end of the 2021-22 season, Lampard's men have managed to concede the least goals (7) in the league so far. With 10 points from 8 games, Everton are not far behind in 11th place.
