Ruben Amorim seeks first Premier League win as Man Utd host Everton - live
Ruben Amorim's inaugural training session with Manchester United
Manchester United is still looking for their first Premier League victory with new manager Ruben Amorim at the helm as they prepare to host Everton at Old Trafford.
The recent draw at Ipswich marked a somewhat uneven beginning for the Portuguese manager last weekend. Despite scoring an early goal, the team couldn't capitalize on it, highlighting the difficulties ahead for Amorim. There were also noticeable issues during the Europa League match against Bodo/Glimt. However, Rasmus Hojlund scored two goals, helping Manchester United secure a victory and giving Amorim a warm welcome as he played his first game at home.
A few days later, he returns to the sidelines of his new home, eager for his team to climb back into the upper half of the standings. Meanwhile, Everton, the visiting team, will be looking to exploit any weaknesses as they aim for a victory that would help them escape a tightly contested relegation fight. Sean Dyche’s squad hasn’t found the net in their last three matches, but they might see an opportunity against a revamped defense.

The home team has a strong advantage according to our live win probability tracker, showing Manchester United with a 57.6% likelihood of winning, while Everton stands at only 20.1%. However, Dyche's squad will be looking to disrupt Amorim's first Premier League match at home as both teams make their way onto the field at Old Trafford!
Everton's last two matches in the Premier League ended in draws with no goals scored. In their entire league history, they have managed to achieve three straight goalless draws only once, back in February 1982.
Everton has struggled to find the back of the net in more Premier League matches than any other team this season, with a total of 6 games without a goal. Meanwhile, only Liverpool (6) and Manchester United (5) have recorded more clean sheets than Everton's 4. This season, Everton has already experienced three matches that ended in a 0-0 draw, which is the highest number they’ve had since the 2015-16 season when they recorded four.
This season in the Premier League, Dwight McNeil has made 101 passes into the opponent's penalty area, putting him second only to Andreas Pereira, who has 103, including crosses. McNeil has also created 30 scoring opportunities, which is nearly double that of any other player on the Everton roster; Ashley Young is the closest with 16 chances.

Dyche: "You Must Compete Against Everyone"
People often mention the idea of a "new manager bounce," which can complicate the situation. However, they still have talented players on their team.
"A fresh manager in the Premier League could bring a new vibe to the league. I have no doubt he's been collaborating with the players and sharing his ideas."
"You have to face every opponent. The schedule has presented us with a challenging stretch, but let's be honest, every match in the Premier League is tough. We've proven in the past that we can compete against these teams, and that's exactly what we need to do once more."

Manchester United Takes On Everton
Sean Dyche has decided to make a notable alteration to his lineup by leaving Dominic Calvert-Lewin out of the starting eleven for the first time this season. Beto, who scored Everton’s last goal in the Premier League four games ago, will start upfront. The team is counting on him to break their scoring slump at Old Trafford.
