Manchester United vs Everton - Premier League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as Joshua Zirkzee STARTS as Ruben Amorim addresses injury concerns for Monday night clash against the Toffees

Right, I have a question for you all.

How many of the readers of this blog have bought a half-and-half scarf in the past? This fella below has.

Personally, I'm not a fan. However, when I watched Sporting Lisbon last month, I bought one of their scarves, so I can't judge.

Anyway, he is there to support his team, like everybody else, and thousands are now descending on the Theatre of Dreams.

We are less than an hour from kick-off.

Chris Sutton, former Premier League striker, on BBC Sport:

Well, there is no Matheus Cunha.

The Manchester United forward had to pull out of turning on the Christmas lights in Altrincham the other day, but it was unclear as to why.

A statement said it was due to an 'accident in training', but that is all we were told.

Clearly, he must be injured as tonight he is absent from the squad. Hopefully, United will tell us more information on what the 'medical reasons' are.

Nonetheless, it's a big blow.

Joshua Zirkzee finally has his chance.

The striker has barely had a sniff all season due to the signing of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha. He has surely been tearing his hair out (and there is a lot of it).

But tonight, Ruben Amorim has gifted him the keys to the engine of the frontline, and he simply can't crash.

Look, we all know it's never easy coming in to start when you barely have any game time. Zirkzee is going to be incredibly rusty and will spend the first few minutes trying to get oil in those bolts.

This is football at the top level, though, and he simply has to perform now that he has been handed an opportunity.

The Dutchman did score a brace against Everton here last year, which should give him confidence.

Can he do the same today?

Well, this is a surprise.

Seamus Coleman is starting at right-back this evening for Everton, which is a real rarity these days.

The Toffees skipper is the only change to the team that beat Fulham before the international break.

Here is the confirmation.

Joshua Zirkzee will indeed start up top for Manchester United this evening in the absence of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha.

Leny Yoro also comes into the side while Lisandro Martinez returns to the bench.

Ruben Amorim, Man United manager, speaking on Friday:

Are Manchester United back?

Nope, not yet. Not in my eyes, at least.

Don't get me wrong, United look so much better than they did last season, or even in the early parts of this campaign. They are unbeaten in their last five league games, winning three of them.

Not shabby at all.

But still, we can't get ahead of ourselves. This team still has its flaws and we need more evidence to go off before we can determine them as 'on the rise again'.

That said, if they win tonight, it will put them in a really strong position going into the silly season, when the games come thick and fast.

They need to keep using the momentum they have built.

One. Step. At. A. Time.

It's been a monster first weekend back in the Premier League - too many headlines to rattle through.

Arsenal battered rivals Tottenham. Liverpool got dusted yet again, while Manchester City's weaknesses shone through at Newcastle.

But rather than go through every result one by one, it's probably just easier for me to list the scores.

So, here are the results from the weekend thus far:

SATURDAY

• Burnley 0-2 Chelsea
• Liverpool 0-3 Nottingham Forest
• Fulham 1-0 Sunderland
• Brighton 2-1 Brentford
• Bournemouth 2-2 West Ham
• Wolves 0-2 Crystal Palace
• Newcastle 2-1 Manchester City

SUNDAY

• Leeds 1-2 Aston Villa
• Arsenal 4-1 Tottenham

There aren't many places better.

Even if you don't support Manchester United, you have to admit that night games at Old Trafford are one hell of a spectacle. They don't call it the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.

OK, OK, I know Liverpool and Manchester City fans will be screaming abuse at me through the screen for that statement, but still, I stand by it. Just look at the picture below.

Anyway, it's the venue this evening as Manchester United host Everton for some Monday night entertainment.

Ruben Amorim's rejuvenated men will be looking to extend their five-match unbeaten streak with fifth place on the line, while the Toffees could leapfrog their hosts with victory.

Whatever happens, I just want a cracking game to round off what has been a brilliant few days of top-flight footie.

So, without further ado, let's get this show on the road.
