Everton return to Premier League action on Monday night as they face Manchester United at Old Trafford.
David Moyes’ side beat Fulham 2-0 just before the break, whilst Man United snatched a late 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur.
Only three points separate the two teams, with Everton knowing a victory will put them level on points with United.
Moyes could make a few surprise changes to his line-up, with perhaps Seamus Coleman getting his first start of the season after his heroics with Ireland during the international break.
What is your prediction for Man United vs Everton?
The Scotsman should also seriously consider tweaking Iliman Ndiaye’s role to expose a key Man United weakness.

David Moyes should start Iliman Ndiaye centrally vs Man United
Moyes will be desperate to secure three points on his return to his former club Man United tomorrow night.

To give his Everton side the best chance of doing so, he must start Ndiaye in the number 10 role, as that could expose a key weakness of Ruben Amorim’s side.
The Red Devils play a three-back formation, which often leaves plenty of space in the middle of the park, particularly in the final third, as Casemiro has been in decline for a couple of years now.
The Brazil international has had somewhat of a renaissance, however, he’s still not able to cover the pitch like most Premier League number sixes.
So, Ndiaye would be the perfect player to operate in that half-space and play between the lines, rather than out wide against the pacey Patrick Dorgu.

“I told him when he first arrived here that he can be the next African Ballon d’Or winner.”
Iliman Ndiaye switch would give Tyler Dibling a chance
If Moyes were to move Ndiaye into the middle, that would give the £40m summer signing Tyler Dibling a chance off the right.
Despite arriving with great fanfare, Dibling has played just 62 minutes of Premier League football and has been an unused substitute in the last three games.
Did Everton make a mistake in signing Tyler Dibling?
Dibling has been impressing coaches around Finch Farm, and many have been surprised by his lack of game time.
So, perhaps this tweak to the system could be the perfect opportunity to unleash the England under-21 international.
Dibling was excellent in his two games against United last season, so there is good reason to be confident he can deliver.
