Manchester United to face Everton in FA cup third round
By Jennifer S Kuwanta
Manchester United will be back in action on Friday when they take on Everton in the third round of the FA Cup.
The Red Devils have been on an imperious form recently as Erik Ten Hag has been able to steady the tumultous ship the club was rocked in when the season started.
United are coming into the FA Cup clash on the back of 3-0 win over Bournemouth while Everton got their season plummeted further with a crushing defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.
Even though Man United are going to give a hard fight for the league till the end, the brighter chance of a silverware this season lies in cup competions like the FA cup, therefore, they will be all out to ensure Everton do not stand in their way to cup glory.

For Everton, it could be a make-or-break game for Frank Lampard, whose fate could be sealed with the outcome of the clash against Manchester United.
The Toffees have not registered a win since their victory over Crystal Palace back in October last year. And Lampard is under tremendous pressure to deliver.
They already lost once against the Red Devils on their home turf when Cristiano Ronaldo was on the score sheet. And Everton will be gunning for an unlikely victory over Manchester United on Friday night.
