Things are looking increasingly desperate for Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim and the journey to in-form Everton could place further pressure on his shoulders this weekend.
The Red Devils are currently languishing in 15th in the Premier League table and have lost three of their last four in the competition, with last weekend's tepid defeat to Tottenham Hotspur serving as a new low point for the club.
The injury-stricken United desperately need victory at Goodison Park but a battle with former manager David Moyes may end in more heartbreak for Amorim and his players.
Here is how United could line up this weekend.

GK: Andre Onana - Onana didn't cover himself in glory against Spurs last weekend and will be put under pressure by an Everton side in strong form.
CB: Noussair Mazraoui - The Moroccan's favoured position is at right-back or as a marauding wing-back. But needs must again at Goodison Park and centre-back is likely to be Mazraoui's home.
CB: Harry Maguire - The towering defender was the hero in the FA Cup fourth round with his controversial late goal but will be need to be proactive in his own third on Saturday against the powerful Beto.
CB: Matthijs de Ligt - With Lisandro Martinez sidelined and Leny Yoro only just back from injury, De Ligt, caught napping for Spurs' winner, should continue on the left-hand side of the back three.
RM: Diogo Dalot - With Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye injured, Dalot should have a more comfortable afternoon defensively. He will still have to be wary of the indefatigable Jack Harrison, who will track the Portuguese's offensive bursts.
CM: Bruno Fernandes - Fernandes has dropped into a deeper role in recent weeks and it's a function that restricts his attacking creativity. However, the Portuguese is still United's main route to goal.
CM: Manuel Ugarte - With Casemiro looking leggy against Tottenham, it's a huge boost for Amorim and United with the return to fitness of Ugarte. Starting straight away may not be ideal but going above and beyond is needed in a crisis.
LM: Patrick Dorgu - The winter recruit has been dropped into a crisis situation and hasn't performed too badly in a misfiring United team. It will take time for the former Lecce man to find comfort in a red shirt.
RF: Joshua Zirkzee - One of United's livelier performers in north London last weekend but missed a glaring opportunity to equalise in the second half. Still lacks the cutting edge required in the final third.
ST: Rasmus Hojlund - The Denmark international has been completely ineffective since Amorim's arrival and looks devoid of confidence. The main worry is Hojlund is increasingly isolated throughout matches and his work rate hasn't been where it needs to be.
LF: Alejandro Garnacho - Amad Diallo's season-ending injury was a devastating blow for the Red Devils and they need Alejandro Garnacho to step up in the Ivorian's absence. The Argentine is without a goal since Amorim's second match in charge in late November.
