Overview
- The Premier League match kicks off at 14:00 BST on Sunday at Hill Dickinson Stadium and will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.
- Everton's deadline day saw Iliman Ndiaye leave for Manchester City, a proposed Folarin Balogun move collapse after a medical, and Jack Grealish arrive on loan, leaving manager David Moyes to warn he has a 'small squad'.
- Both teams published confirmed starting lineups that reflect those limits, with Everton naming Jordan Pickford in goal and a back five that includes James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite while Manchester United select Senne Lammens and a forward line of Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
- Manchester United remain hampered by a list of absentees — Carlos Baleba, Manuel Ugarte, Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt — even as Bruno Fernandes arrives in strong form after scoring a hat‑trick in United's recent 5‑2 win over Ipswich.
- The transfer upheaval has prompted public frustration from Everton leadership and supporter groups and could leave the club reliant on short‑term fixes and youth cover unless reinforcements arrive in the next windows.
