Michael Carrick is unbeaten across his first five matches as head coach, while United are unbeaten in their last nine matches in the competition. United will have benefited from an unusual 13-day gap between matches when they make their first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.
United could welcome Harry Maguire and Mason Mount back to action when they make the short journey to Merseyside, while Matthijs De Ligt is closing in on a return to action too. Carrick will cast his eye over the first-team squad this week before he decides on his starting line up to face Everton.
Here is how we think United should line up:
Lammens should start in goal against Everton next week.
