David Moyes is ready to face his old club as Everton take on Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend. Everton have turned their season around since Moyes' return to Goodison Park for a second stint. Just a few weeks ago, they were sitting 16th, one point above the relegation zone.
Now, with four wins in their last six matches and 13 points collected, they've climbed the table and look like the league's most in-form side. Everton have even moved ahead of United, and their relegation worries seem a thing of the past.
After last week's dramatic Merseyside derby win, Goodison will be bouncing again, while United come into the game struggling after a 1-0 loss to Tottenham.
Injuries are piling up for United.
Amad Diallo is out for the season, while Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, and Luke Shaw remain sidelined. Kobbie Mainoo is also out for six weeks with a muscular injury, leaving United short in midfield.
Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer missed the Tottenham game, though their injuries are believed to be minor. Manager Ruben Amorim will provide updates on them and the rest of the squad later this week. Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro were also absent due to illness but could return for Saturday.
United's bench against Spurs featured seven academy players, including 18-year-old Ayden Heaven, signed in January from Arsenal. Late in the match, Chido Obi made his senior debut, but with little time on the pitch, he couldn't make an impact.
