Everton vs Manchester United: Starting Lineups, TV and Live Streams, How to Watch Online

Merseyside, England – Everton’s search for a home victory goes on after a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on Monday night at a rain-soaked Hill Dickinson Stadium, a loss that leaves the Toffees stuck in mid-table while United climb within touching distance of the top four under caretaker boss Michael Carrick.

The only goal arrived in the 72nd minute when United countered against Everton’s high line. Substitute Sesko, introduced for Amad moments earlier, raced clear of James Tarkowski and slipped a low finish beyond Jordan Pickford. The hosts, organised in an experimental back four that saw centre-half Jarrad Branthwaite at left-back and central midfielder Mason Holgate on the right, had held firm until that point but were punished for a momentary lapse.

Everton dominated territory and set-pieces – registering ten corners to United’s zero – yet struggled to translate pressure into clear chances. Alex Iwobi twice forced smart saves from United keeper Rasmus Lammens, while Michael Keane’s 83rd-minute drive from distance drew a full-stretch parry. The Toffees’ best spell came late on: Sesko was denied a second by a brilliant Pickford save in the 90th minute, and Tyrique George’s stoppage-time strike flew straight at Lammens.

The defeat is Everton’s fourth in five league matches at home and leaves them ninth on 37 points, three adrift of Brighton in the congested middle of the Premier League table. United, meanwhile, move up to fifth, eight points clear of the Blues.

Manager David Moyes had been forced into a late reshuffle after Charly Alcaraz picked up an injury in training, while Jake O’Brien served a suspension. United travelled without Patrick Dorgu, Matthijs de Ligt and Mason Mount but named an unchanged side following Carrick’s recent upturn in form.

The contest was the second meeting between the clubs this season; Everton memorably won 1-0 at Old Trafford despite playing 75 minutes with ten men after Idrissa Gana Gueye’s red card for an accidental clash with teammate Michael Keane. United’s last trip to Goodison ended 2-2, the Blues surrendering a two-goal lead in that fixture.

Kick-off on Monday, February 23rd was 8:00 p.m. local time under light rain and 49°F temperatures. Viewers in the United States caught the action on USA Network and UNIVERSO, while UK audiences tuned in via Sky Sports Main Event.
