Sunday’s Premier League action concludes at Old Trafford where Manchester United face Everton.

The hosts are four points off the top four after their fierce rivals Manchester City thumped Bournemouth 4-0 on Saturday afternoon, and will be desperate to win as they look to keep in touch.

Their win against City last time out was their third in four league games and they have lost just twice in front of their own fans all season.

Bastian Schweinsteiger looks set to miss the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury on international duty though Ander Herrara and Ashley Young could both return after shaking off their respective groin problems.

Marcus Rashford, who has five goals for the club already despite only making his debut five weeks ago, is priced at 6.5 (11/2) to open the scoring with Bet 365, with Anthony Martial available at the same price with a variety of firms.

The home win is 2.05 (21/20) with a number of bookmakers with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.2 (16/5) on offer from Bet 365. The draw is a 3.55 (28/11) chance with 888 Sport.

Back to back league defeats have al but ended the Toffees’ hopes of finishing in the top six though their place in the semi-finals of the FA Cups means they still have a chance of playing European football next season.

They are unbeaten away from home in the league since October, and a win here would see them leapfrog West Bromwich Albion into eleventh place and move onto forty-one points.

John Stones is available despite picking up a knock whilst playing for England while there could also be recalls for Bryan Oviedo and Kevin Mirallas though Gareth Barry is suspended.

Romelu Lukaku is 6.5 (11/2) to get the first goal of the game with Paddy Power with Ross Barkley a 15.0 (14/1) shot with Betfair.

United ran out 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture back in October – the third time in a row this clash has seen over 2.5 goals and you can back that outcome this time around at 2.15 (23/20) with Berfair.
