Man Utd are off the back of a 1-0 loss to 10-man Everton, in a game where Idrissa Gueye was shown a red card for slapping his OWN teammate.
The loss was a first since September against Brentford for Ruben Amorim, but his side have now picked up just two of the last nine available points.

David Moyes‘ Toffees also got the better of Oliver Glasner’s Palace, with that defeat sending them on a run of three games without a win in all competitions.
SunSport can reveal why the game is kicking off at 12pm on a Sunday.
