Everton host Manchester United at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday 6 September 2026 (13:00 BST). Everton drew 1–1 with Bournemouth in GW2; United bounced back with a 2–0 home win over Ipswich.
Everton: how they've looked
David Moyes' Everton use Pickford, Dewsbury-Hall and new signing Jack Grealish as the FPL core. Branthwaite anchors defence; home vs United offers clean-sheet potential if the GW2 draw builds defensive confidence. Grealish (£6.5m) joined from Man City and takes the wide role vacated by Ndiaye who moved the other direction.

Manchester United: how they've looked
Michael Carrick's United travel with Bruno Fernandes, Sesko and Mbeumo in attack. Martínez and de Ligt at the back; away form was exposed at Hull in GW1 but the Ipswich rebound suggests stability.
The tactical picture
Everton's compact block and transitions through Grealish's dribbling vs United's possession — Bruno's set pieces and Sesko's movement are the key threats.
Head-to-head history
Everton have taken points in three of the last five home meetings against United; Sunday lunchtime kick-offs often produce tight, tactical games.

- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton, MID): creative hub at home.

Final call
United's GW2 momentum carries north. Prediction: Everton 1–2 Manchester United.
