2026/27 Premier League, Matchday 3
Everton v Manchester United
Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool
Sunday 6 September, 13:00
Manchester United will face a tricky test when they come up against Everton in a Premier League Matchday 3 fixture, set for the Hill Dickinson Stadium on the afternoon of Sunday 6 September, kick-off at 13:00.
Form
Everton have made a very positive start to the season, with 2-0 a win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League followed by a 4-0 thrashing of Preston in the EFL Cup, and then this past weekend the Toffees recorded a creditable 1-1 draw away to Bournemouth in which James Tarkowski scored an injury-time equaliser.
United, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to their 2026/27 campaign, with a surprise loss away to newly-promoted Hull City followed by an emphatic 5-2 home triumph over Ipswich Town this past weekend – with Bruno Fernandes scoring a hat-trick of goals.
Team news
Everton are set to be without Christian Norgaard and Tim Iroegbunam, while Hayden Hackney could return from a rolled ankle.
Man United could welcome Mason Mount back to the matchday squad, while Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt and Carlos Baleba all remain sidelined with various injuries.
Head-to-head
Everton and Man United have met in 213 matches across all competitions. The Red Devils have claimed 96 wins compared to 69 for the Toffees, while 48 games have been drawn.
The teams each claimed a 1-0 away win over the other in the Premier League last season, with Everton victorious at Old Trafford in November 2025, while United won at the Hill Dickinson in February 2026.
Quotes
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick after bouncing back in the win over Ipswich: “The biggest pleasing thing was – we spoke about in the week, about dealing with setbacks if you want to be a successful team. Every team gets beat. You’ve got to deal with setbacks, whether that’s momentum in the game, whether that’s a goal, whether that’s losing a game or a run of games, whatever it may be. You’ve got to deal with the setback.
“We spoke before about trying to overcome last week, and then we took a mini setback if you like, going a goal behind. But showing stubbornness, belief, confidence, and togetherness the boys showed at that stage – in a small part, because we’re so early in the season – I think that was really pleasing for me.”
