Everton 1-3 Manchester United: Premier League – as it happened

8.00am EST 08:00

28 min: Bernard’s cute reverse pass down the left releases Digne. He enters the box, with Calvert-Lewin in the middle, waiting for the invitation to tap home from six yards. But Digne decides to take the shot on himself, going for the top-left corner. He gives it a good thump, but the ball bangs the left-hand post and out for a goal kick. Calvert-Lewin is furious. Digne pretends not to see him.

7.58am EST 07:58

27 min: It’s easily cleared, and suddenly United are flooding forward on the counter en masse! Mata scampers down the left, with time to weigh up his cross. But he sends it straight into the arms of Pickford, with Martial and Fred waiting in acres of space.

7.57am EST 07:57

26 min: Everton respond through Coleman, skittering down the right. He’s upended by Shaw. Free kick. This is basically a corner.

7.56am EST 07:56

GOAL! Everton 1-1 Manchester United (Fernandes 25)

This is a brilliant goal. United move up a gear and pick up the pace. Some nice triangles down the inside-left channel. Suddenly Mata slips the ball wide for Shaw, who sends in a stunning cross. He finds Fernandes, ten yards out. Fernandes plants a glorious header into the top right, giving Pickford absolutely no chance!

7.54am EST 07:54

24 min: Rashford drives in from the left and reaches the edge of the box, before opening his body and attempting a curler into the bottom right. It’s always sailing wide, but it was a nice purposeful run.

7.52am EST 07:52

21 min: In the stand, Ed Woodward frowns, a dark cartoon scribble forming above his head. Not happy.

7.51am EST 07:51

GOAL! Everton 1-0 Manchester United (Bernard 19)

Solskjaer isn’t smiling now. Pickford hits long. Calvert-Lewin flicks on, beating Lindelof in the air with ease. Bernard picks up possession, cuts inside past Wan-Bissaka, and threads a shot into the bottom left. Too easy. Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka and De Gea should all have done better.

7.49am EST 07:49

18 min: Lindelof plays a suicidal backpass that nearly lets Doucoure in. De Gea is off his line quicksmart to blooter clear. Lindelof makes a theatrical show of apologising to his keeper once the danger has passed. De Gea doesn’t seem too pleased.

7.48am EST 07:48

17 min: Buoyed by that chance, United come again, Fernandes seeing another shot blocked. The rebound falls to Rashford, who slices over the bar.

7.47am EST 07:47

16 min: United should be leading. Rashford’s corner from the left is half-cleared by Holgate. Fred returns it down the inside-left channel … and Martial is free! He fires a low shot across Pickford and inches wide of the right-hand post. Everyone was expecting the net to billow.

7.46am EST 07:46

15 min: Fernandes shoots from distance. The ball twangs off Sigurdsson’s back, and this will be United’s first corner of the match.

7.45am EST 07:45

14 min: United move it around the middle of the park, but at glacial pace. Everton are once more quite content to sit back and wait.

7.44am EST 07:44

12 min: After a reasonable start, United are struggling to retain possession. Solskjaer nevertheless seems to be enjoying himself on the touchline. A broad smile as he laughs and jokes with his staff. Perhaps he’s just spotted that toolkit with his aeroplane.

7.41am EST 07:41

10 min: Everton are starting to stroke it around nicely. Rodriguez splits the United back line in half with a cute backheel down the right. Coleman dinks it into the middle but there’s nobody there. That was a very pretty move, shame about its end.

7.39am EST 07:39

9 min: Sigurdsson’s delivery is dismal, failing to beat the first man. Penny for Calvert-Lewin’s thoughts.

7.39am EST 07:39

8 min: Digne drops a shoulder down the left and wins the first corner of the match off Wan-Bissaka.

7.38am EST 07:38

6 min: Rodriguez sends Bernard scampering down the left. Bernard cuts inside and curls towards Calvert-Lewin, who flicks a header towards the top right. It’s just over the bar. De Gea was momentarily worried that the ball was looping into the corner, but he breathes again.

7.36am EST 07:36

5 min: Shaw crosses from the left. The ball pings off Rashford’s back and out for a throw. Everton seem perfectly happy to sit back and let United come onto them, having spotted how things have been panning out at Old Trafford this season.

7.35am EST 07:35

4 min: And now some careful probing by United, though they don’t really get anywhere. Everyone easing themselves into this match.

7.32am EST 07:32

2 min: Both sides take a turn to ping the ball around in fast and confident fashion. Early statements of intent.

7.31am EST 07:31

And we’re off! United get the ball rolling … but only after the players take a knee of solidarity, love and equality. Black lives matter. There’s no room for racism.

7.30am EST 07:30

The teams are out! Everton in blue, Manchester United in red, Ed Woodward in the stand with that usual glazed look. A moment to remember the fallen. The Last Post. The referee pierces the silence with his whistle. We’ll be off in a minute, and the excitement is palpable, as amply illustrated by Neil Carter: “It’s Saturday and my beloved Manchester United are playing. Hello darkness my old friend. Sigh.”

Carlo Ancelotti’s turn. “It was a good week because we recovered a lot of players from injury. I think we have a better team today. It is a difficult game but also a great opportunity to come back to win as we did during the first period of the season. We have to defend better against United, they are a strong team with a lot of quality up front.”

7.07am EST 07:07

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talks to BT Sport. “Every day when you’re at Manchester United you need to deliver, because you’re in the best position, you’ve got the best possible shirt over your head, and you must go out and enjoy it. That’s how I felt when I played, that’s how I feel now when I lead them out, so I just want them to express their talents. I want a confident team working together. Our diamond worked quite well against Leipzig, didn’t it, so you don’t have to delve too far back to find good results. Every game lives its own life, and the first goal is massive, so hopefully today we can start bright. That first goal against Istanbul is … [laughs sheepishly] … I don’t know what to say about that one because it’s one of the worst goals I’ve conceded as a manager, and when you make personal mistakes, it just costs you.”

6.57am EST 06:57

Carlo Ancelotti has a lovely word or two for Marcus Rashford in his programme notes. Rashford was welcomed with a message on the big screen from the Everton Fans’ Forum which read: “Thank you for sticking up for our kids who needed a voice, here on Merseyside and across the country.” That’s been echoed by the manager, who writes …

I heard our supporters are saying thank you to Marcus Rashford for his incredible effort to ensure no child in this country is hungry. I say congratulations too. In football we have a privileged position where people hear our voices. Marcus is using his platform to make a meaningful and lasting change and doing his work with maturity and dignity.

6.37am EST 06:37

Preamble

Everton’s fast start to the season seems a distant memory already. They won their first seven games in all competitions, and in some style too, but since then it’s been slim pickings: just one point from the last nine available. They could do with some good news as they look to snap that run, and here’s some: James Rodriguez should be back from injury.

Here’s some more: they face Manchester United this lunchtime. United aren’t in a good place right now. They were eased aside by Arsenal last weekend, conceded one of the daftest goals in the entire history of association football in Istanbul on Wednesday, and are stuck at the wrong end of the Premier League table. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under serious pressure; another bad performance today would plunge him into all sorts of bother.

However, there’s some good news for United too. Anthony Martial is back from suspension, for starters. They’re currently on a run of six away wins in the league. And Solskjaer has a habit of pulling rabbits out of the hat at exactly the right time. With both teams fancying their chances of victory, this one is very much on.

Kick off: 12.30pm GMT.
