Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Supratim Banerjee | Last updated Feb 23, 2026 10:19 AM ET

Everton will host Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday, February 23, for the Premier League week 27 matchup.

Man United will enter Monday's game with confidence despite their frustrating 1-1 draw vs. West Ham United last weekend. Before that, they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0. The Red Devils are currently sitting fifth in the Premier League table with 45 points in 26 games. Since Michael Carrick's arrival, the team has been on a strong run, winning four of its last five games across all competitions.

Everton is also coming off a decisive 2-1 win vs. AFC Bournemouth last weekend. The Toffees have 3 wins and 2 draws in their previous 5 games across all competitions and are currently sitting ninth in the Premier League table, with 37 points in 26 games.

Moyes will be without Jack Grealish, who is sidelined for the rest of the season following his foot injury. Defender Jake O'Brien is suspended after receiving a red card against Bournemouth and will also be unavailable for Monday's game.

The Red Devils' Mason Mount is unavailable for the Everton clash. Carrick will also be without Patrick Dorgu and Matthijs de Ligt on Monday due to injuries.

Predicted Lineup

Everton:

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
Defenders: Nathan Patterson, James Tarkowski, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Jarrad Branthwaite
Midfielders: James Garner, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Tyrique George, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Forwards: Iliman Ndiaye, Thierno Barry

Manchester United:

Goalkeeper: Senne Lammens
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw
Midfielders: Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes
Forwards: Amad Diallo, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo

Prediction

Manchester United has the upper hand in this matchup. The Red Devils have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between the two sides, while the Toffees managed just one victory, with the remaining game ending in a draw.

Carrick's men are the clear favourites for Monday's matchup. Bruno Fernandes and Co. will look to continue their strong run with another victory at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and avenge their 1–0 defeat in the reverse fixture back in November 2025.

Moyes' Everton is also looking to climb up the European contention ladder. However, to do that, Pickford and Co. have to keep Manchester United at bay and salvage at least one point from the game, if not all three. However, a loss could prove costly for the Toffees at this stage of the season.
