Liverpool’s fall-off is something that not many would have imagined after the money they spent last summer, but Everton fans will be thoroughly enjoying it.
For a side who were crowned Premier League champions by many pundits before a ball was even kicked, Liverpool’s horrendous form is a sight to behold.
Everton’s season has by no means been flawless, with the Toffees only securing back-to-back victories once this season.
Having beaten Fulham just before the international break, David Moyes will be looking to defy the odds and secure his first league win at Old Trafford on Monday night.
What is your prediction for Man United vs Everton?
Moyes is considering some significant Everton team changes for the trip to face Manchester United, with Seamus Coleman making a claim for a rare start.
The game against his former club may now have become even bigger, as Everton could bring an 11-year record to an end following Liverpool’s latest loss.

However, the Toffees will now have their eyes on pulling themselves up the Premier League table following the results on Saturday afternoon.

Nottingham Forest’s 3-0 win at Anfield has provided Everton with an opportunity to leapfrog their city rivals with three points on Monday night.
This would be the first time since 2014 that Everton would have been above Liverpool following the opening 12 Premier League games.
At the time, Everton were in 9th with 17 points and Liverpool were 12th with 14 points.
Everton are five points better off than they were last season after the opening 11 games under the current Forest boss.
The 54-year-old has now closed the gap on Everton to just three points, but the chance to go ahead of Liverpool should only be extra motivation ahead of the trip to Old Trafford.
Sean Dyche’s record at Anfield as Everton manager
Recently, Dyche denied supporting Liverpool following speculation about his past when he was managing the Blues.
Dyche certainly enjoyed the win against Liverpool on Saturday on the back of his struggles at Anfield during his time as Everton boss.
The 54-year-old’s record on enemy territory left a lot to be desired.

Tim Sherwood thinks Dyche has a quality squad at Forest, which the pundit claims he did not get on Merseyside.
A win for Everton on Monday night would take them six clear of Dyche’s Forest ahead of their two meetings next month.
But now, eyes will be on piling the pressure on Slot.
