The international break has come to a close, and Everton vs Manchester United is the final Premier League fixture of the weekend.
Everton are up against a Manchester United side tomorrow who seem to have turned a corner under Ruben Amorim.
What is your prediction for Man United vs Everton?
Amorim’s men have won three out of their last five games, so many pundits are predicting United to beat the Toffees.
David Moyes will be back at his former club and will be hopeful of securing his first-ever win at Old Trafford.
Moyes may also have his eye on one Man United player in particular, as Everton are showing an interest in his signature ahead of the January transfer window.

David Moyes will likely keep a close eye on Man United’s Joshua Zirkzee on Monday
Everton News exclusively revealed that Moyes is considering a move to sign Joshua Zirkzee this winter window.
The Scotsman is keen to bring in another centre-forward to support Beto and Thierno Barry, who are both struggling at the moment.

David Moyes looks ahead to Everton’s trip to Old Trafford
Zirkzee is open to leaving Man United for another club in the Premier League, as he’s been reduced to a bit-part role this season.
The Netherlands international is expected to start on Monday, though, as Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out through injury.
That gives Moyes the chance to have an extra close look at his January target at Old Trafford.
Roma are also interested in Joshua Zirkzee
Interestingly, Everton’s sister club AS Roma are also interested in signing Zirkzee, according to TEAMtalk’s Dean Jones.
“Roma want him on loan, they would take him as soon as the window opens, but United don’t see the point of sending him out on loan unless there is an obligation.
“Right now, nobody seems to know which way that one is going.”
It will be fascinating to see who the Friedkin Group prioritise between Everton and Roma in this situation, as many of their shared targets have ended up joining the Serie A giants.
Considering there is a real pressing need for the Toffees to sign a centre-forward, surely they will have first dibs on Zirkzee.
Although, the finances behind the deal may be the main stumbling block as United will want to recoup most of the £36m they paid for him just over a year ago.
