I'm not confident after Bournemouth. Also, the presence of Lingard and Martial is worrying.

ETA: Niasse and Vlasic are starting, as are the Holgate / Williams combo and not Jags, so that's something.

The line up looks better, Schneiderlin is still in there but let's see how we do today.

Utd line-up looks quite average on paper esp that back 4 but only if we set out to take advantage.
Not as pessimistic as I was but we still have to go out and try to win this ourselves.
Excited to see Vlasic get an opportunity, glad Jags is not playing, and Niasse will at least work hard.
COYB.

Surprised me with lineup, but disappointed Keane is starting, meaning Holgate is at rb

Any sign of Cenk at the Old Lady ?

Lower Gladys mate.

Definitely a more attacking side.

Would have preferred Holgate and Williams at the back, with Kenny right-back, but he's probably knackered.

Hope Gueye missing is just a precaution. Good to see Vlasic start and Bolasie needs to be sharp today.

Definitely the most 'attacking' line-up he's named so far.

Looks like we might attack.... expects tp be disappointed when we're camped on our 18yd line

Burnley conceded again. Good. I only care about Everton.

Also mental that I’m made up that our record signing isn’t playing.

Pissoff everton yeah before a ball has been kicked.
