Manchester United v Everton: Premier League prediction, team line-ups and where to watch on TV and online
Red meets blue in the second part of Super Sunday as Manchester United host Everton in a mouth-watering Premier League clash.
United have made their best start to a Premier League season (after four games) since Sir Alex Ferguson departed.
They go into the weekend top of the Premier League and have already spent more nights top of the tree this season (34 up to an including Friday night) than in the previous four seasons combined (16), since the departure of Ferguson.
Hope has sprung eternal that United could sustain their strong early season form, although Jose Mourinho has never beaten Ronald Koeman as a manager in five meetings between the two.
Confidence could be low within the away ranks though after back-to-back 3-0 defeats (Tottenham and Atalanta) with Koeman criticising the team's attitude in the surprise thrashing in Italy.
Start time
Manchester United host Everton at Old Trafford with kick-off scheduled for 4pm on Sunday, September 17.
TV and live online coverage
The match will be televised live on Sky Sports' Premier League and Main Event channels. Alternatively, you can follow live goal updates with NEW GERSY blog
Team news
Manchester United
Paul Pogba's hamstring injury rules the midfielder out of United's clash with Everton and for a further few weeks after that.
The 24-year-old limped off in Tuesday's Champions League win against Basle - a match Phil Jones and Eric Bailly missed through suspension. United boss Jose Mourinho intends to bring the pair back in at centre-back on Sunday.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo continue their recovery from knee ligament damage, while Luke Shaw is pushing for a recall after recovering from ligament damage in his foot.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Lindelof, Bailly, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Shaw, Young, Fellaini, Matic, Herrera, Carrick, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Martial.

Ronald Koeman looks set to make changes again as Everton bid to end their poor form.
Following three successive defeats Koeman has called for more from his senior campaigners and after making six changes for the Europa League loss to Atalanta on Thursday, the likes of Ashley Williams, Idrissa Gueye and Davy Klaassen can be expected to be recalled along with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
The Toffees remain without James McCarthy (knee), Ross Barkley (hamstring), Ramiro Funes Mori, Yannick Bolasie (both knee) and Seamus Coleman (broken leg).
Provisional squad: Pickford, Martina, Keane, Williams, Baines, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Klaassen, Rooney, Sigurdsson, Sandro, Stekelenburg, Jagielka, Holgate, Davies, Mirallas, Lennon, Calvert-Lewin, Vlasic, Robles, Besic, Lookman.
