Manchester United are back in Premier League action on Monday evening, facing Everton at Old Trafford.
United secured a dramatic 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur last time out, extending their unbeaten streak to five games.
Everton, meanwhile, ended their three-game winless streak with a 2-0 home victory over Fulham.
Match preview
United could have slipped down to the bottom half of the standings before this game, making it a must-win.
While the Mancunian giants are on a five-match unbeaten run, they have drawn their last two matches, losing the lead in both.
United have recently shown their tenacity, but they need better control of matches to stand a chance of finishing in one of the European places.
