Many-time FA Cup champion Manchester United will be seeking to build on their momentum when they tackle Everton FC in the competition’s third round at Old Trafford on Friday.
United who’s unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions will eagerly seek another stroke in the win column against Everton as they continue their turn-around under Erik Ten Haag.
Man U has been experiencing a good run in knockout competitions recently following victory over Aston Villa and Burnley in the EFL Cup, and would also be buoyed with confidence after back-to-back victories in the premier league which has seen them jump to third fourth in the standings.
Everton who by contrast has remained in the wilderness this season as they continue to fight for survival in the league will no doubt be desperate to snap United’s run with a morale-boosting result in Manchester.
Everton manager Frank Lampard will have eyes on nothing but three points in hopes of relieving the pressure he’s facing at the helm of the ELP strugglers.
Given their most recent performance in Manchester to pull off a surprise 1-1 draw against EPL champions Manchester City, the Toffees will travel with a great level of belief they can go one better with United.
While Manchester United will be seeking to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games a win for Everton will see them earn their first in all competition since October, which is coincidentally the last period both teams met.
United taking that by a close 2-1 margin in the league.
