Manchester United are out to tighten their grip on a top four spot away to Everton this evening.
Michael Carrick’s winning run came to an end last time out against West Ham United with Benjamin Sesko rescuing a dramatic draw in east London.
United have had 13 days without a game since and face a stern examination tonight at the Hill Dickson Stadium having lost to a 10-man Toffees in the reverse fixture in November.
David Moyes’ side are flying high in eighth place but haven’t registered a home win since 6 December.
Metro’s LIVE matchday blog will bring you all the build-up, confirmed team news and starting XIs, goal updates and minute-by-minute coverage.

How United are set to line up tonight?
Here’s how we have United lining up tonight.
Carrick has named unchanged XIs in his last two games and could very well stick with the same side this evening.
Sesko’s role will be the biggest decision – against a low block, the Slovenia international could prove to be a more useful option at the focal point of attack.

Man Utd team news tonight
Matthijs de Ligt and Mason Mount remain sidelined for the visitors tonight. De Ligt has not played since the end of November due to a back problem and there is still no clear timeline on when the Netherlands international will return to action.
De Ligt is ‘getting closer’ with Mason Mount also still unavailable.
Patrick Dorgu is United’s only other absentee as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered in the win over Arsenal.
