Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester United's crucial Premier League clash with Everton from Goodison Park. It appeared all was well once more at Old Trafford and an vitriolic Jose Mourinho era soon forgotten as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought the good times back to M16, but the wheel(s) well and truly has come off. United's top-four aspiration hang by a thread, with Everton, who have top-seven aspirations of their own, the latest looking to damage Solskjaer's reputation yet further. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

Everton the early pressure, winning a couple of corners. United pressed very deep into their half.

United look to be lining up with a back three here, with Rashford sort of a right wing-back. Interesting from Solskjaer...

So here we go! Just two wins in United's last seven since the Miracle of Paris has certainly cast doubt over the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but victory today against an improved Everton would certainly reinvigorate their top four push. Three wins in a row for Everton alleviated much of the pressure on manager Marco Silva's shoulders, before a limp display in defeat to Fulham last time out acted as a reality check for any Toffees getting carried away. Something has to give in the Goodison sunshine today! The teams are in their way!

Look at that pitch! Glorious!

Anthony Martial has scored in each of his last three Premier League games Everton - the last Man Utd player to score in four straight matches against a single opponent was Wayne Rooney vs Hull in November 2014.

People forget just how young Lukaku is...

HOME COMFORTS: After a run of just one home win in eight Premier League games, Everton have won their last two at Goodison Park. Everton have won their last two home Premier League games against 'big six' sides, as many as they had in their previous 19 in the competition (W2 D7 L10). They last won three home league games in a row against such opponents in the competition in March 2012.

HEAD TO HEAD: Everton have lost more Premier League matches against Manchester United than any side has against another in the history of the competition (36). Following a run of three straight away defeats against Everton without scoring a single goal, United have won two of their last three top-flight games at Goodison Park (D1). In their meeting earlier this season, United scored their 100th Premier League goal against Everton in a 2-1 victory, making them just the second side to net 100+ goals against a single opponent in the competition (also Arsenal against Everton). Everton's only previous league win, and Man Utd's only previous league defeat on Easter Sunday came in this exact fixture in the 2013-14 campaign (Everton 2-0 Man Utd).

LUKAKU RETURNS, KEANE STARTS: Solskjaer has gone for a very attack-minded side this afternoon, with a front three of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku. All in all there are three changes from the side beaten by Barcelona in midweek, with Ashley Young, Scott McTominay and Jesse Lingard, replaced by Diogo Dalot, Nemanja Matic and Lukaku. Everton make two changes to the side that lost 2-0 away to Fulham last time out. In come Michael Keane and Morgan Schneiderlin for Phil Jagielka and the suspended Andre Gomes.
