The Manchester United vs Everton live stream pits two clubs that are tied in the Premier League rankings with 13 points each. Their records are identical: four wins, one draw, one loss. The teams even have scored nearly the same amount of goals. This may very well be the most hard-fought clash of the week. And a win would send either side to the top of the table.

The big news ahead of kick off is that Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench. That might sound like a shock, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer always said he wouldn't start every game.

Or maybe Solskjaer just wants to shake things up. United barely got away with a Champions League win over Villareal thanks to a late extra-time goal by Ronaldo and lost their last league game 1-90 to Aston Villa. And it's not like they don't have options, with Edinson Cavani back from injury. He starts here, as do Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Fred. But just look at that bench: Ronaldo, Paul Pogba and Jadon Sancho are all ready and waiting to come on if Utd need extra firepower late on. 

Everton are coming off a rote win over cellar dwellers Norwich City. The Toffees are also well-rested after not having a mid-week game, but playing at Old Trafford is always a challenge — they haven't won there since December 2013. 

While manager Rafael Benitez may not be very popular, his lineups this season have proven they can score. Against United, though, Benitez will have to patch something together, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and Seamus Coleman all unavailable. The Blues offense will still be a danger, with Andros Townsend on the wing and Abdoulaye Doucoure in midfield.   

Here's how they line up:

Manchester United: De Gea, Lindelof, Martial, Greenwood, Fred, Fernandes, Varane, Cavani, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, McTominay.

Everton: Pickford, Keane, Allan, Gray, Digne, Mina, Townsend, Doucoure, Godfrey, Gordon, Rondon.

How to watch the Manchester United vs Everton live stream wherever you are

The Manchester United vs Everton live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBC, Peacock or another service and watch the game.
