Everton vs Manchester United – Predicted lineup and team news

Everton will look to extend their unbeaten start to the season when Manchester United visit Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.

David Moyes's side sit seventh in the table after a win and a draw from their opening two fixtures. Sunday's game is also personal for Moyes, who managed United between 2013 and 2014 and has since lost 23 Premier League meetings against his old club — one shy of Harry Redknapp's record of 24 defeats against the Red Devils in the competition.

Christian Norgaard remains the club's only confirmed absentee. There is no other fresh fitness concern in the squad heading into Sunday, though deadline day brought significant change: Iliman Ndiaye departed for Manchester City in a reported £65m deal, and a proposed move for Folarin Balogun from Monaco collapsed after the American forward pulled out of the deal following his medical.

Jack Grealish returned to the club on a season-long loan from Manchester City on the same day Ndiaye left, and is set to start on the left in place of Tyrique George after the winger's underwhelming display at Bournemouth. Brennan Johnson is expected to fill the creative role vacated by Ndiaye, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles, also signed on deadline day from Lyon, is likely to feature from the bench having yet to make his debut.

Everton possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Armstrong; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry

The Premier League match kicks off at 14:00 on Sunday, 6 September 2026.
