Everton have been speeding away from the relegation zone under David Moyes, but with Manchester United coming to Goodison Park, they may be slowed down. Ruben Amorim is still figuring out how to orient the team without Amad Diallo who could miss the remainder of the season, but there’s no denying that United’s form has picked up as the calendar has entered February. On Friday United discovered that they will be playing Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 16 and its likely the team will mainly be using upcoming games to figure out their plan of attack to prepare for that tournament.
