Manchester United take on Everton in the Premier League today.
United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, although Ruben Amorim was forced to name seven youngsters from the academy in that depleted matchday squad.
Amorim gave Chido Obi his senior debut in the final minutes of the contest against Spurs. The youngster didn't have time to make an impact but could be involved again at Goodison Park.

United have played memorable games at Goodison Park over the years, however, this will be their final visit because Everton will move to Bramley-Moore Dock from the start of 2025/2026.
Regarding the team news, Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen will return to the squad, but United still have a lengthy injury list and several key players are still missing.
Tyrone Marshall
Amorim has a few options back available to him this weekend and importantly one of them is Ugarte, who has to come in for Casemiro. The Brazilian did well to get through the game last weekend but Amorim knows he doesn't have the physicality to thrive in his system and Goodison Park will demand a lot of energy.
Yoro is also available again, but I would stick with Mazraoui for now. He offers a tenacity United might need in this fixture and Yoro does at least offer an option on the bench. I'd also stick with Dorgu on the left and Dalot on the right.
There's not a lot of options in attacking areas, but Zirkzee actually looked bright last weekend and deserves a chance to impress again as a No.10. Chido Obi isn't ready to start in the Premier League - especially against such a physical defence - but Hojlund really needs to step it up.
Steven Railston
United didn't play too badly against Tottenham - but they didn't take their chances. With that in mind, I'd make just two changes to the starting team and Yoro should start over Mazraoui.
Ugarte should come into the side for Casemiro. Fernandes and Ugarte were developing a good relationship in midfield before the latter was absent last weekend and they should rekindle that partnership at Goodison Park.
Zirkzee's display against Spurs went under the radar because of the result but he looked sharp in the No.10 role and the attack should remain unchanged (not that Amorim has much choice).
George Smith
Despite being poised to welcome back a handful of faces this lunchtime, Amorim can hardly consider himself spoilt for choice in terms of options. Yoro should come back into the team if he is deemed fit enough to start after missing out last weekend through illness.
Dalot struggled up against Son Heung-min against Spurs and has not been at his best for several weeks, meaning a rare breather could be beneficial to him. Mazraoui is a very versatile operator and could cover him at right wing-back.
Ugarte has to start if he is fit enough, with Casemiro struggling last weekend. Hojlund is not an attractive option to lead United's attack right now amid his goal drought, but Amorim has no other senior figures to turn to.
