Still, frustration is growing on Merseyside after six games without a win at home in all competitions. Another defeat under the lights would only worsen the unease.
However, Everton have already beaten United once this season and will take confidence from that win when they welcome the resurgent Red Devils for this tantalising clash.
Match preview
Everton boss David Moyes returns to face his former club at a delicate time. The 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth before the break was particularly galling.
Everton were in control before eight chaotic minutes flipped the game. A chance to consolidate a European push slipped away.
Their home form is now a concern. They have lost five of their last nine Premier League matches on Merseyside, as many as in their previous 28.
The new 52,000-seat arena is yet to feel like a fortress.
In contrast, their away record has been excellent. It is the inconsistency at Hill Dickinson Stadium that is holding them back.
Meanwhile, Man United arrive in very different spirits. Since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim, United have rediscovered rhythm and resilience.
No side has collected more points in 2026.
A stoppage-time equaliser from Benjamin Sesko at West Ham United extended their unbeaten run and underlined a growing belief. United are playing with freedom again.
Match stats
Everton are looking to complete just their second Premier League double over Manchester United after 2013/14. But the Toffees must be wary.
United have 19 away wins and 42 overall victories against Everton in the Premier League, more than any team has against another in the competition’s history.
Everton have lost five of their last nine home league games (W2, D2) while United are unbeaten in their last nine top-flight matches (W5, D4), their longest such run since 2021.
Everton team news
Jake O’Brien is suspended following his red card against Bournemouth, forcing a reshuffle in defence.
More likely, Moyes will roll with Scottish international (15-caps) Nathan Patterson at right-back. Tyrique George, 20, should retain his place in the attack.
Idrissa Gueye is available despite his dismissal at Old Trafford, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be eager to haunt United again after scoring the winner in November.
Everton predicted XI (4-2-3-1)
Jordan Pickford; Nathan Patterson, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Vitalii Mykolenko; Idrissa Gueye, James Garner; Tyrique George, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye; Thierno Barry.
