    Everton
    • Abdoulaye Doucoure returns having served a one-match ban but may have to settle for a spot on the bench after Charly Alcaraz's superb showing at Crystal Palace last week.
    • David Moyes could go with the same XI that started the victory at Selhurst Park last weekend.
    • No fewer than eight players remain sidelined for the Toffees here.
    Manchester United
    • Ruben Amorim could be without no fewer than 11 players for Saturday's trip to Goodison Park.
    • Amad is out for the rest of the season, which is a huge blow for Manchester United, but Amorim may recover Leny Yoro, Christian Eriksen and Manuel Ugarte here, the former pair having missed the 1-0 loss at Tottenham due to illness.
    • A lack of senior options means Amorim may be forced to go with the same starting XI that lost at Spurs last weekend.
