It’s a game of two swift returns to former clubs when Manchester United take on Everton at Old Trafford in a tale of two strikers with Romelu Lukaku and Wayne Rooney facing their former team-mates here this afternoon.

Manchester United continued their impressive start to the new season with a midweek 3-0 home win over Basle in the Champions League with manager Jose Mourinho stating that the early rounds of the competition were just a ‘warm up’ for the major european clubs. Nevertheless, the Red Devils recorded their fourth clean sheet in five games, and they look in good shape ahead of today’s encounter.

United will be without influential midfielder Paul Pogba, but having won both of their home matches to nil with wins over West Ham 4-0 and Leicester City 2-0, the squad are brimming with confidence and are well organised at the back. Up front, Lukaku (4 goals) will face his former club, and along with Martial and Rashford (2 goals apiece), the attacking trio are in good goalscoring form.

Visitors Everton, by contrast, look a beleagured outfit already in these early weeks of the new Premier League campaign as they sit in a very disappointing 17th place in the top flight having won just once of their first four league matches of the season.

The Toffees’ european ambitions also took a major blow during the week as well as they were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat away at Italian side, Atalanta, in the Europa League, so a trip to Old Trafford against a rampant Manchester United outfit is probably the last place Ronald Koeman and his team will want to visit right now!

Everton have now gone ten league matches without an away win, and they look to be heading for an 11th here this afternoon, and there are early concerns as to where the goals are likely to be coming from, even though Wayne Rooney will have plenty of incentive to do well here this afternoon.

But the major difference between these two sides is the well-organised defensive unit of Manchester United.
