With both sides out of form there should be plenty of interest in opposing a high-scoring game when they meet on Merseyside this weekend
Two sides desperately in need of a win meet at Goodison Park in the Premier League's early kick-off on Saturday as Everton host Manchester United.
Frank Lampard's men are just a point above the relegation zone after a run of 10 defeats in 12 matches, while United are four points off a Champions League place after winning just three of their last eight league clashes.

Everton vs Manchester United preview
Everton's 3-2 defeat against Burnley in midweek was perhaps the lowest point of what has been a bitterly disappointing season and Frank Lampard has his work cut out to raise the side's morale.
Only the bottom two sides in the division have suffered more defeats than Everton this season and it feels as if the Goodison Park outfit are on a downward spiral which is difficult to halt.
United, for their part, are far from at their best and lost further ground in the battle to finish in the top four last weekend by drawing with Leicester City, although Ronaldo's return could be a timely boost for Ralf Rangnick's side.
With both teams lacking momentum there could be interest in opposing a high scoring game, and backing under 2.5 goals in United's matches recently has proved highly profitable.
Everton vs Manchester United tips & predictions
Under 2.5 goals has paid out in nine of the Red Devils' last 12 matches and a repeat is offered at the healthy looking price of evens (2.00).
