Manchester United will be going in search of a seventh successive victory in all competitions when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford in the third round of the FA Cup on Friday evening.
United, who exited the competition at the fourth round stage last season, being knocked out by Championship side Middlesbrough on penalties, will be looking to maintain their current run of excellent form against the Toffees. The Reds defeated Bournemouth 3-0 on Tuesday night to tighten their grip on a top-four spot, thanks to goals from Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford.
The Reds, who last faced Everton in the FA Cup back in April 2016, winning 2-1 at the semi-final stage at Wembley, will be looking to become the first club to secure their spot in the hat for the fourth round draw. A win against Frank Lampard's strugglers would also strengthen their chances of ending their trophy drought, given they are also still alive and kicking in both the Europa League and Carabao Cup.
