Manchester United will be looking to keep their top-four hopes alive when they travel to top-seven challengers Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Everton
Everton will be without the services of Andre Gomes, who has been handed a three-match ban for a challenge on Aleksandar Mitrovic during last weekend's Premier League clash with Fulham.
Morgan Schneiderlin and Tom Davies are therefore both in contention to start, but Yerry Mina is still on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.
Michael Keane should replace Phil Jagielka in central defence, while there are not expected to be any surprises in the final third with Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard and Richarlison all operating in support of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne; Gueye, Schneiderlin; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard; Calvert-Lewin
Manchester United
As for United, Nemanja Matic is available having missed the team's last four games through a mixture of illness and injury. The Serbian could come into the midfield alongside Fred and Pogba, with Ander Herrera unlikely to be available despite returning to training.
Luke Shaw will again miss out through suspension, though, meaning that Ashley Young should switch to left-back, allowing Diogo Dalot to come into the defence on the opposite side.
Anthony Martial was poor against Barca and could now drop out, with Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford starting as the front two.
Alexis Sanchez made his return from a knee injury against Barca during the week, with the Chilean expected to be a part of Solskjaer's squad this weekend. Antonio Valencia and Eric Bailly, however, remain unavailable.

Head To Head
Sunday will be the 201st meeting between these two teams in all competitions. United lead the head-to-head 88 wins to Everton's 69, with the remaining 43 fixtures finishing level.
United have won each of the last three Premier League games between the two teams, including a 2-1 home success earlier this season and a 2-0 victory at Goodison Park last term.
Not since April 2015 have Everton beaten the Red Devils, while United's 16 Premier League victories at Goodison Park is a competition record for away wins in one single ground.
