Premier League Quick Preview: Everton Vs Manchester United
Everton manager David Moyes welcomes his former club Manchester United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, wishing he had more players to select from.
It was a quiet transfer deadline day for the Toffees, who welcome back Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City, hoping he can maintain Everton's unbeaten start to the season.
It was a relatively quiet transfer window for Michael Carrick, who managed to keep hold of Joshua Zirkzee amid interest from this weekend's opponent.
United begin the game as favourites on betting apps, but the Toffees will be hoping to end a disappointing run of results against United on home soil.
United Defend Their Good Record
United have a decent record in recent seasons on the blue side of Liverpool, with three wins and a draw covering visits to Goodison Park and the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
On their last trip to Everton, Benjamin Sesko scored the only goal of the game to earn United a 1-0 win in February.
In the last three meetings at Everton's home, there have been 11 or more total corners awarded.
