Team news

Manchester United

Paul Pogba is yet to recover from an ankle injury, while Eric Bailly, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Marcos Rojo remain sidelined.

Diogo Dalot remains doubtful, while Jesse Lingard is touch and go after picking up a knock.

Everton

Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Andre Gomes are long-term absentees, while Fabian Delph is still doubtful with a thigh problem.

Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina, Seamus Coleman and Theo Walcott are all doubts but should be fit to make the squad.

Everton were a totally different side against Chelsea but despite all their tenacity and aggression cannot go the whole season surrendering that much possession.

United have won their last three games, including impressive wins over Spurs and City, and should have too much for the Toffees at home.

Prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Everton

Crystal Palace vs Brighton preview

Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion face off on Monday evening.

This rivalry goes back as far as the 1970s, the Eagles and the Seagulls only really revived their dislike of each other in the 2010s as Brighton overcame off-field problems.

Team news

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace will be without Jeffrey Schlupp, Patrick van Aanholt and Joel Ward for Monday’s game. Mamadou Sakho joins them out with suspension, which could lead to an interesting defensive line.

Elsewhere, Jordan Ayew is expected to continue to lead the line ahead of Christian Benteke, joined by Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend.

Predicted XI: Guaita; Kelly, Tomkins, Cahill, Riedewald; McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate; Townsend, Ayew, Zaha.

Brighton

Aaron Connolly is a doubt for Brighton with a dead leg together with Solly March. Dale Stephens misses out through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last week.

Yves Bissouma is a potential replacement for Stephens, but he has played just 145 minutes.

Predicted XI: Ryan; Montoya, Webster, Dunk, Burn; Mooy, Propper, Gross; Alzate, Maupay, Trossard.
