OPINION

Everton travel to Manchester United on Sunday for an important Premier League clash and manager Ronald Koeman has a big decision to make over his team selection.

The Toffees have lost their last two consecutive games by 3-0 scorelines against Atalanta and Tottenham, which has seen the manager come under severe pressure.

Koeman should make six changes to his side for the trip to Old Trafford and his team has the potential to stun United, who are without influential midfielder Paul Pogba due to injury.

The Merseyside club are going to give up more possession to Jose Mourinho’s team and should use a 4-3-3- formation to get bodies in the midfield.

Everton desperately need big changes after a poor start to the campaign and that means axing six players that played against Atalanta in the Europa League defeat.

Wayne Rooney, Maarten Stekelenburg, Phil Jagielka, Muhamed Beisc, Morgan Schneiderlin and Nikola Vlasic should be the players to make way.

That will leave just Michael Keane, Mason Holgate, Leighton Baines, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the five survivors.

Rooney has not made the expected impact since his return to Everton and his place in the side is meaning some of his team-mates are used out of position.

This Is Futbol has selected the best possible Everton XI to play on Sunday that is certainly capable of stunning United if they reach their best standards.

Here is that team, including the six new faces that should come into the line-up to inject some fresh belief.
