The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Everton lock horns with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in an important clash at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Manchester United vs Everton Preview
Everton are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side held Tottenham Hotspur to an admirable 1-1 draw this week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Red Devils edged Brentford to an important 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
