Everton v Manchester United: Premier League – live!

26 min: Zouma looks to pick out Digne with a high ball over the top, but United snuff it out. Digne has been a real outlet for Everton.

25 min: And now Fred catches Calvert-Lewin, but the referee Paul Tierney lets him off the hook. A little lenient, perhaps.

23 min: Gueye is booked for a hefty takedown of Fred, a no-nonsense challenge around 35 yards from goal. Rashford is ambitious and has a go but fires it straight into the Gwladys Street end.

21 min: Pogba keeps a United attack alive with a deft pass before Rashford raids down the right but his cross is intercepted, much to the frustration of Anthony Martial and Lukaku, who have, it is fair to say, been totally anonymous so far. Everton promptly zoom up the other end but Richarlison, the goalscorer, gets himself in a muddle and overcooks his pass.

20 min: Pogba plays a wonderful 50-yard pass downfield in search of Marcus Rashford and the striker does well to get a shot away, but it loops over Jordan Pickford’s goal. He had to strike early, with Zouma and Keane quick to swarm him for company.

19 min: Lucas Digne has been lively for Everton down that left flank. In a fairly flat season, he has been one of Marco Silva’s shining lights.

17 min: Digne whips in a dangerous corner that almost drops kindly for Calvert-Lewin but United – just about – manage to clear their lines until Fred surrenders on the right flank. And Everton win yet another corner. A dominant spell culminates with a wayward pass by Sigurdsson, of all people, but there is no doubt the momentum is with Everton.

15 min: Lucas Digne reloads for another mammoth long throw, with Kurt Zouma in his sights this time but Jones heads the ball away.

14 min: It’s all Everton, as Sigurdsson swings in another corner. Pogba blocks a rifled Digne effort but back come the hosts. It is wave after wave of attacks for United to deal with and, at the moment, they cannot cope. United have barely been outside of their own half, penned in by Everton.

It had been coming. A Lucas Digne long throw is not dealt with and, after Calvert-Lewin helps the ball on, Richarlison acrobatically converts from inside the box, hooking the ball beyond De Gea. Diogo Dalot stooped to head the ball away, but it was very half-hearted. That’s Richarlison’s 14th goal of the season and his third in his last six matches. Manchester United have been underwhelming at best and have got what they deserve.

12 min: Smalling intercepts another slipped ball down the left flank. Everton are piling the pressure on and their home fans are loving it.

11 min: A big save by David de Gea to keep Richarlison out! Everton recycle the initial corner and, when the ball is played back in towards the back post, there is the Brazilian lurking to hammer a volley goalwards. De Gea gets his body behind it, clambering the ball to safety and away.

10 min: Richarlison cannot reach the free-kick but Everton can maintain the heat after winning a corner. Lucas Digne delivers …

8 min: Sigurdsson turns 30 yards from goal, and is clipped by Fred. The Iceland midfielder will likely dink it towards the back post, where Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma and co are queuing up.

7 min: Schneiderlin wins the ball just inside his own half before spraying the ball into the bath of an advancing Bernard. That is the base for another Everton break forward, with Séamus Coleman and Nemanja Matic going head-to-head on the byline. But United win a free-kick. It has been a fairly lethargic start by United, who have allowed Everton to do as they please.

6 min: Sigurdsson does brilliantly to weave his way into the box off the right flank but his cross is easily gathered by De Gea, Calvert-Lewin unable to reach it.

5 min: United counter from the corner, and Calvert-Lewin tugs at the shirt of Rashford, who was breaking at speed. Everton win a free-kick on halfway. United fans are in good voice in the away end. “Ole’s at the wheel!” …

4 min: Sigurdsson delivers but it cannons off the back of Smalling and De Gea gobbles it up. The Spaniard rolls the ball out to Smalling but his pass is wayward, straight out of play and Everton regain possession, winning another corner as Calvert-Lewin wins a duel against Jones.

2 min: Marco Silva urges Everton to play it quicker as they enjoy their own early spell of possession. Bernard jets down the flank before United snuff it out.

1 min: An early touch for Lukaku is heavily booed by Everton fans, as United jump on the front foot. It looks as though Lindelöf, Jones and Smalling are playing as a back three.

The teams are in the tunnel. Z-Cars rings round Goodison …

Romelu Lukaku takes a lot of flak – but his goalscoring record speaks volumes; he has scored at least 12 goals per season for six of the seven past Premier League seasons, the first of which was an impressive loan spell at West Brom, aged 19. He ripped it up at Everton, too, earning a £75m move to Manchester United. The thing eluding him is breaking that 20-goal milestone, something he has just done just once in his career, while on the books at Goodison. What’s more, he is still only 25 and, at 25 years and 343 days old, the Belgian becomes the sixth youngest player to reach 250 Premier League appearances – and is the youngest non-English player to do so, overtaking Ryan Giggs (26y 167d). That says a lot.

Manchester United are “in the wilderness”, says Gary Neville before telling Paul Pogba to give the club some “clarity” on his future. The France midfielder could do with a big performance after being washed up in midweek. History is on United’s side at Goodison this afternoon at least: Everton have lost more Premier League matches against Manchester United than any side has against another in the history of the competition (36).

Solskjær speaks about Romelu Lukaku returning against his former club. “Rom likes to play football, likes to prove he’s a goalscorer, that he’s in the team,” he says. “We’ve got three big games this week and it’s a chance for everyone to say: ‘I want to play against [Manchester] City and Chelsea’. We have to perform as a team, attitude has been really good and in some games we have been a bit off form, some we haven’t got what we deserved.”

Team news news: Ole Gunnar Solskjær makes three changes from the defeat to Barcelona, with Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Diogo Dalot restored to the starting lineup. Ashley Young, who took the brunt of the criticism on the back of that defeat at Camp Nou, is among those relegated to the bench. Marco Silva also tweaks personnel, with Michael Keane replacing Phil Jagielka in the heart of defence, while former United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is in for the suspended André Gomes.

They say time is the best healer and now Manchester United have had the chance to wipe away the grimaces from a humbling defeat at Camp Nou, how will they respond? After the toil and exhaustion of chasing Lionel Messi’s shadow for 92 minutes, as the painful reality that United are a world away from competing with Europe’s top table set in, there is a plausible feeling that Ole Gunnar Solskjær was only ever papering over the cracks. Either way, the Solskjær machine that cantered to eight straight wins requires some heavy greasing. Losing to Barcelona is no disgrace but the manner in which they were brushed aside exposed United’s shortcomings; they are too rugged in defence, too slow and predictable in midfield and unsure of the best plan of attack going forward. “There’s no quick fix, it’s not like we buy seven players and suddenly we’re in the right shape, we are where we are,” Solskjær said. “We have to take it step-by-step and of course there will be signings made in the summer.” Plenty of food for thought then, and a point or two to prove for one or two players at a sun-drenched Goodison Park. United have been leaking goals and have lost four consecutive matches on the road for the first time in 20 years, when Solskjær was up front in 1999. After their own mini revival, Everton slipped up against relegated Fulham last time out and Marco Silva’s side are also looking to bounce back, though will have to do so without the suspended midfielder, André Gomes. “It is a moment to learn because it will be tough for us,” Silva said.

Kick-off: 1.30pm (BST)
