Everton: 11/2

It's all to play for at Old Trafford  

If United wish to continue their quest to finish in the top four of the table, then a win tonight is requisite. They have currently gone 19 league games without defeat, which is Mourinho's longest unbeaten streak since a 40-match streak with Chelsea in 2005. The Reds are particuarly lethal on home turf, with only one defeat in their last 36 matches at Old Trafford.

This is a statistic that makes a mid-week trip away to United sound rather unappealing for The Toffees, but they are also desperate for three points. A win for the visitors tonight will mean they will overtake Arsenal in the table and draw level on points with Mourinho's side. Koeman is on a mission to become the first manager in Premier League history to win three away matches to United. 

Kick off at 20:00.
