Everton are unbeaten so far this season, having followed up a season-opening win over Crystal Palace by snatching a late point at Bournemouth.But their squad looks thin after the final day of the transfer window saw them lose star winger Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City and sell striker Beto to Fiorentina, while right-back Nathan Patterson went to Torino and Tim Iroegbunam was allowed to join Hull City.Evertons only deadline day incomings saw Jack Grealish join on loan for a second time from City and right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles come in from Lyon.Yet it was Evertons inability to sign a replacement for Beto that angered Everton fans. Folarin Balogun appeared set to sign from Monaco, but the move was thrown into doubt over his medical. Everton looked to Aston Villas Tammy Abraham and Uniteds Joshua Zirkzee as alternatives but, after those enquiries came to nothing, they negotiated to sign Balogun at a lower fee, only for the United States star to back out of the move.The episode has prompted a furious response from supporters, with fan groups calling for no money to be spent in the Hill Dickinson Stadium in protest at the clubs failings in the transfer market.Despite the discontent, Carrick is anticipating a difficult challenge as United look to build on their 5-2 win over Ipswich Town last weekend.However long I have been going to Everton, every single game has been as tough as they come, Carrick told his pre-match press conference. We have had some good results, some not so good results, whatever position we are in, whenever I have been there it has been tough.David [Moyes] is a terrific manager and it has been tough. We are expecting as tough a game as it gets.Everton boss Moyes made no effort to sugarcoat how their transfer window ended in his pre-match press conference.However, he still sees reason to be optimistic following their strong start on the pitch.[I am] disappointed we didnt do more business, things did not go our way in the end, said Moyes. In football, you have to live with disappointments and move on. In this case, we will.I think the players have made a really good start to the season with a couple of good wins and a draw. Behind here, there is a lot of positivity and confidence in how we have started the season. I need to make sure I keep giving them all the support that they need, so we can keep that going.Everton v Man United Premier League team newsChristian Norgaard is not yet fit to make his debut for Everton, who could move Grealish straight into the starting XI.The visitors remain without Carlos Baleba due to an ankle injury, while Amad Diallo (ankle) and Matthijs de Ligt (back) are set to miss out again.United left-back Luke Shaw (hamstring) are midfielder Mason Mount (knock) are doubts.Everton v Manchester United predicted line upsEverton starting XI: Pickford; OBrien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Armstrong; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; BarryManchester United starting XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Mainoo, Tielemans; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford; CunhaEverton v Man United stats, Premier League formAcross the opening two Premier League matchdays this season, no sides have had more direct attacks than these teams (6 each)Only Hull City (2.3 m/s) and Liverpool (2.05 m/s) have had a higher direct speed than Everton (2.04 m/s), highlighting their ability to hit sides quickly in transitionEverton have won three of their last 22 Premier League matches against Manchester United (D7 L12), although one was last season when they prevailed 1-0 at Old TraffordThe Toffees could win back-to-back Premier League games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for a second time, having beaten Burnley (2-0) and Chelsea (3-0) in MarchThey last won their opening two home games of a league campaign in 2021/22, although manager David Moyes has lost 23 Premier League matches against Manchester United, with only Harry Redknapp ever losing more against the Red Devils in the competition (24)United have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Everton (D1 L1), keeping clean sheets in five of those winsThis will be 20th Premier League game of Michael Carricks second tenure in charge of Manchester United, with no side winning more points (42) than them across the periodOnly five managers have won at least 45 points in their first 20 games from the start of a tenure with a club: Jose Mourinho in his first spell with Chelsea (49), Antonio Conte with Chelsea (49), John Gregory with Aston Villa (48), Arne Slot with Liverpool (47) and Carlo Ancelotti with Chelsea (45)Should they concede first, United will have fallen 1-0 behind in each of their first three Premier League games of a season for the first time since 2012/13, when one of those games was a 1-0 loss at Everton but the visitors proceeded to win the titleBruno Fernandes has been directly involved in 11 goals in 13 Premier League appearances against Everton (6 goals, 5 assists), which is the joint most of any United player along with David Beckham (4 goals, 7 assists) and Ryan Giggs (7 goals, 4 assists)Where to watch Everton v Man United: TV channel, live online streamsKick-off on Sunday is at 14:00 BST (09:00 ET / 06:00 PT), with live coverage in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra.Via Now TV, Sky Sports costs �14.99 for a day membership, �27.99 a month for a 12-month membership or �34.99 a month with no contract.Heres the full list of Premier League international broadcasters.Everton v Manchester United Premier League predictionAfter a dreadful end to the transfer window, the mood of the Everton fans looks unlikely to be improved in this one, even if Uniteds shaky defence may give them at least some reason to cheer.
