Yellow card for Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Bruno Fernandes first loses the ball against Onana and then climbs onto his heel from behind. For this he sees the first yellow card of the game.
28
21:28
Rashford and Godfrey clash in midfield after a tackle, triggering a pack formation. Referee England takes both to him and clarifies that with an intensive presentation.
26
21:26
As soon as the Red Devils switch to high pressing, Everton really doesn’t know what to do anymore. Usually there is only the long ball by Pickford.
24
21:25
The hosts are trying to calm the game down a bit, letting the ball run through their own ranks. Casemiro in particular is very present.
22
21:22
Casemiro goes into a duel with Onana with full commitment, who then bends over on the lawn. The Everton player needs treatment but looks set to continue playing.
20
21:20
The game is extremely intense, and Everton are now in full swing after Lampard worried in the first few minutes. Tarkowski now clears a shot from the edge of the box by Martial by boldly throwing himself into it.
17
21:18
Pickford holds against Martial! Manchester United counterattacks, Rashford plays martial on the left side of the box in a 2v1 situation. He appears alone in front of Pickford, but fails to finish with a great foot parade.

21:14
Tooor for Everton FC, 1-1 by Conor Coady
What is that thing? Everton stays on as a result of a corner, Onana sends Maupay to the baseline after a good duel on the right side of the six-yard box. This slides the ball from there into the middle, where de Gea is completely beside himself and is tunnelled by the ball while leaning against the post. Coady shifts the fastest and still pushes the game device over the line.

Post! Out of nowhere almost equalization, of course it’s Gray, the bright spot of the last few weeks. He is released on the left of the penalty area and takes heart from 18 meters. The ball hits the left post and from the back of the head of de Gea, who is chasing after him, out of the goal.
11.
21:12
It only goes in one direction. Casemiro wins the ball in midfield and plays to Rashford on the left side of the box. There he gets a little stuck, but can then cast off for Eriksen. However, his shot from a central position of 20 meters goes wide.
9.
21:09
Antony has a lot of space in front of him on the right after de Gea played a good ball. But then he gets stuck on Onana at the corner of the penalty area.
8th.
21:08
The Red Devils start here like a fire brigade, put pressure on early and create quick chances. That can also end badly for Everton.
7.
21:07
How do the guests react to this renewed blow to the neck? Not good, Pickford plays a simple bad pass in the build-up. So Rashford comes to a half-right end on the sixteen, but his attempt then misses a meter to the left. Pickford flies for free.

Tooor for Manchester United, 1-0 through Antony
The early 1:0 for the favorite. Martial plays Rashford free on the left, the Englishman pulls into the penalty area and simply leaves Godfrey standing. On the left side of the penalty area, he then plays flat to the second post, where Antony slides into the ball and can push it over the line. There’s no defender in sight, Pickford can only watch.
3.
21:02
As expected, the toffees fall deep into their own half. Only from the center line do they really attack the ball-carrying player.

21:01
Then the ball rolls. Everton kicked off.
20:55
The teams take to the pitch at this moment, joined by referee Darren England. The game can start in a few minutes.
20:48
Manchester United vs Everton also means a lot of tradition. In the FA Cup, however, there have only been three duels against each other, two of which went to the Red Devils. Most recently, they prevailed 2-1 at Goodison Park in 2016. Back then, a certain Anthony Martial scored deep in injury time to win. Will that happen again today?
20:38
That’s not the only reason why the hosts are the big favorites in this game. The Red Devils have all won their last six competitive games and have worked their way up to fourth place in the Premier League table. Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, the team seems more liberated, especially the defensive is much safer because they are now working completely in the network. However, Manchester United is now also missing a trained striker, recently there were rumors about Frankfurt’s Kolo Muani. Certainly Manchester United will still be active on the transfer market until the end of January.
20:28
For both teams it is the first game in the FA Cup this season, the higher-class teams are known to be allowed to start later. It’s a very important one, especially for guest coach Lampard, as he’s under a lot of pressure. Everton have been unbeaten in seven games in all competitions, most recently suffering a 4-1 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion in the league. This puts you stuck in a disappointing 18th place in the table and in the middle of a relegation battle. The bravely fought 1-1 draw on New Year’s Eve is the only ray of hope in recent times, a victory in the cup competition could perhaps turn things around for the better. A resignation of the coach is also possible after another defeat.
20:10
To start, let’s take a look at the lineups. Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has called Malacia, Varane, Diogo Dalot and Antony into the starting XI compared to last league game. But Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf and van de Beek are out. The Dutchman can almost draw on the full, only Jaden Sancho is missing due to mental problems. In the cup, of course, there is traditionally a lot of rotation and rest, which explains the many changes. Everton boss Frank Lampard is also making four changes to his squad. Patterson, Davies, McNeil and Calvert-Lewin are replaced by Godfrey, Coleman, Onana and Maupay. The Toffees also have an almost complete squad, only Townsend is suffering from a cruciate ligament injury and must therefore pass.
20:05
Welcome to the Manchester United v Everton match in the 3rd round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m.!
