JAKARTA Manchester United will host Everton in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday, December 1 evening. This match is an important momentum for United, who have just recorded a dramatic 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League, to build consistency under their new manager, Ruben Amorim.
Since his arrival, Amorim has managed to have a positive impact, especially at home. After a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town in his debut match, United showed fighting spirit by beating Bodo/Glimt. Rasmus Hojlund's two goals secured his first Amorized victory at Old Trafford.
However, in the Premier League, Manchester United are still stuck in 12th position. With only three points separating them from Tottenham Hotspur in sixth place, the win over Everton will be an important step for United to get close to the top of the table.
Everton, on the other hand, are in a difficult period. Sean Dyche's men have failed to score in their last three league games. A goalless draw against Brentford last week was an additional blow, considering Brentford has played with 10 players since the first half. Currently, Everton are in 15th place, only two points adrift of the relegation zone.
The history of the meeting of the two teams is more in favor of United. The Red Devils have won the last five matches against Everton, including last season's two wins with a 5-0 aggregate score. However, Everton still has a positive record at Old Trafford, including the draw they have won in recent seasons.
In this match the ambigum will lose Jonny Evans (light injury), Victor Lindelof (lore injury), Harry Maguire (chip injury), and Leny Yoro (leg injury) missed a 3-2 win against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League last Thursday. With a short recovery time, it is estimated that the four players will not be available for this weekend's match.
Lenny Yoro, who had previously been injured since pre-season, is nearing back to full fitness, but Amoritism doesn't want to take the risk and will give him more time to get to his best before making his Manchester United debut.

Under these conditions, Amoram is predicted to maintain the same backline arrangement as against Bodo/Glimt. Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Leandro Martinez will re-form a defender trio in front of Andre Onana.
However, changes are likely to occur in the wing-back sector. Diogo Dalot is expected to replace Antony as a right-back, while Luke Shaw, who has just recovered from a long injury, can return to appear to replaceIM Malacia on the left.
Di lini tengah, Kobbie Mainoo berpeluang tampil tampil sebagai starter pertama kali di bawah kepemimpinan Amorim, ber duet dengan Casemiro untuk mengisi lini tengah.
In attack, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho will remain the mainstay. Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund, who scored two important goals in midweek games, will most likely be selected over Marcus Rashford to fill the final slot at the front lines.
On the Everton side, James Garner was ruled out of back injury, along with Seamus Coleman, Chermiti, and Team Iroegbunam. Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains the main focus on the front lines despite failing to score in their last eight matches.
Manchester United is expected to appear more dominant with the full support of the Old Trafford public. Everton are likely to rely on tight defense and quick counter-attacks to steal points. However, Everton's poor performance in scoring goals could be a big obstacle in this match.
