David Moyes is determined to do his best to try and qualify for European football but was obviously very disappointed after Everton threw away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 to the Cherries last time out. As I said earlier, that result extended the Blues winless run at Hill Dickinson Stadium to six games.
What can they do to revive their fortunes on the Mersey waterfront for what is the most intense fixture at their new home to date? The Everton manager is due up at 1:30pm.

One enforced change that the Blues boss will have to deal with is who comes in for the suspended Jake O’Brien who was shown a straight red card for a professional foul against Bournemouth.
Will he go for a natural right-back in Nathan Patterson or could midfielder James Garner be moved into the role?

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the live blog for David Moyes’ pre-match press conference to preview Everton’s home game with Manchester United on Monday night.
The Blues became the first team in Premier League history to defeat the Red Devils in a Premier League game at Old Trafford after having a man sent off in the reverse fixture last November.
However, since then, their opponents have sacked Ruben Amorim as manager and enjoyed an upturn in fortunes while Everton of course have failed to win in any of their last six matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
