Amorim Gambles Again: Man Utd Set to Face Everton Without a True Striker in Bold Tactical Move
Manchester United have the opportunity to stretch their undefeated Premier League streak to six matches when they host Everton at Old Trafford on Monday evening.
The Red Devils have dominated the Toffees throughout history, particularly at home. Although numerous teams have visited the Theatre of Dreams in recent seasons and secured positive results, Everton haven't claimed victory on United's turf since 2013.
Paradoxically, Everton boss David Moyes was the manager in the home technical area during the Toffees' uncommon triumph at Old Trafford.
On Monday, the Scottish tactician will confront a United squad that may not be commanding but is certainly moving in an upward trajectory. Stability has been crucial for Ruben Amorim this campaign, and here's the lineup he might select for Everton's arrival.
Man Utd Predicted Lineup vs. Everton (3-4-2-1)
GK: Senne Lammens—The Belgian goalkeeper has provided a steady influence between the sticks, and he'll continue as United's number one choice moving forward.
CB: Leny Yoro—The promising French defender has featured intermittently this campaign, but Harry Maguire's fitness issue means he might secure a starting role on Monday evening.
CB: Matthijs de Ligt—De Ligt has become the cornerstone of United's backline, and he'll probably move into the central role due to Maguire's unavailability.
CB: Luke Shaw—Shaw will eventually compete with Lisandro Martínez for playing time, but the English defender maintains his starting position at this spot currently.
RWB: Amad Diallo—We might witness the Ivorian pulled back into a wing-back position at home, having been deployed in the attacking line against Spurs, where he provided the assist for the opener.
CM: Casemiro—The veteran midfielder has been outstanding recently, and he found the net for Brazil during the international window. He's presently among the guaranteed starters.
CM: Bruno Fernandes—Fernandes sparked Man Utd's comeback during their previous visit to Goodison Park this year, and there's no question he'll team up with Casemiro once more on Monday.
LWB: Patrick Dorgu—Dorgu also scored for his nation during the break, and he'll edge out the competition between himself and Diogo Dalot for the starting spot at left wing-back.
AM: Bryan Mbeumo—His impressive season opener continued with a strike at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a fortnight ago, marking his sixth Premier League goal this term. Mbeumo has been a tremendous success at Old Trafford.
AM: Mason Mount—Mount has delivered when given opportunities this season, and Benjamin Šeško's injury will probably see the English midfielder return to Amorim's starting eleven, despite Šeško not beginning against Spurs two weeks prior.
ST: Matheus Cunha—Questions remain about Cunha's availability, but the limited information from the club suggests that his training knock isn't serious and shouldn't prevent him from featuring in Monday's fixture.
