Everton host Manchester United in GameDay’s lunchtime kick-off as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer battles to save his job as manager.
United maintain they are behind their under-fire boss, but rumours are mounting that they are planning to replace him with Mauricio Pochettino following a run of poor results this season.

The Red Devils lost at home to Arsenal last weekend and were humbled by Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League in midweek.
They now face a tricky trip to Everton on Saturday lunchtime.
“The evidence building against Ole at the moment is quite damning,” talkSPORT host Jason Cundy told the Sports Bar on Friday night.
“Once you start to see rumours, you rarely see a manager survive.”
Carlo Ancelotti’s side started the new season in superb form but, having suffered injuries and suspensions, their performances have dipped.
They have lost to Southampton and Newcastle in recent weeks and will be eager to hit back when United travel to Merseyside.

Everton v Man United: Match stats and facts

- Manchester United have won more Premier League games against Everton than any side has won against another in the competition’s history (36). Meanwhile, their 16 wins at Goodison Park is the joint-most away wins for a club at a specific venue in the competition (Man Utd also 16 at Villa Park).
- Everton are looking to avoid losing three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December 2019, while manager Carlo Ancelotti hasn’t lost three league games in a row since November 2006 with AC Milan.
- After a run of scoring in 17 consecutive games, netting 39 goals in the process, Manchester United have failed to score in their last two Premier League matches (0-0 vs Chelsea, 0-1 vs Arsenal). They last failed to score in three consecutive league games in February.
- Manchester United have won each of their last six Premier League away games – only between April-August 1993 (7) have they won more consecutively on the road in the competition.
- Everton haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last seven Premier League home games, last having a longer such run between May-November 2015 (8). Indeed, the Toffees have conceded at least twice in each of their last four league games at Goodison Park.
- Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored eight goals in his seven Premier League games this season, only failing to score in one game so far. The striker has scored in just one of his seven Premier League appearances vs Man United, but it was in his last such match against them (1-1 at Goodison Park, March 2020).
- Manchester United have conceded four penalties in their six Premier League games this season, already more than they had in their 38 games last season (3). Indeed, only in four completed campaigns have they ever faced more penalties in the competition (5 in 2006-07 and 2016-17, 6 in 2010-11 and 2018-19).
- Marcus Rashford has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League away games for Manchester United, scoring three and assisting three.
- Man United’s Bruno Fernandes has been involved in 12 goals in his nine Premier League away games so far (8 goals, 4 assists), only failing to register a goal involvement in one of those nine matches (vs Crystal Palace in July). Even if he fails to get a goal or assist in this game, it will be the highest number of goal involvements in a player’s first 10 Premier League away games in the competition’s history.
