Jose Mourinho will return to the touchline as he takes his Manchester United players to Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Both sides find themselves lower than expected in the table after a poor run of form, and will be looking to catapult themselves back up towards the top four.
Wayne Rooney is missing through suspension, but Mourinho is likely to field both Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic with United able to climb above West Brom to sixth.
Manchester United and Everton currently sit seventh and eighth respectively, ahead of their 14th game of the Premier League season.
Both are in reasonably poor form and will be keen to exit their slump this evening.
Meanwhile, Mourinho has been complaining that he gets treated differently from other managers, after being sent to the stands for kicking a water bottle over during his side’s 1-1 draw with West Ham last weekend.
He said: “The only thing I would like would be the same rules for everyone.
“Let’s go back to the last one. I kick a bottle of water, I cannot do it. If I do it, it’s a sending off. After the sending off, there is a punishment.
“So I accept that is a sending off. In fact, if you see the images, when the referee comes, I go – not a word, not a complaint. I accept the suspension of one match and it’s as simple as that.
“But it has to be the same for every manager. It has to be the same.”
Everton manager, Ronald Koeman, said: If somebody had said to me at the beginning of the season that Everton at the beginning of December will be seventh and if they beat Manchester United we will go sixth, I would be happy.
“Of course, I realise we need a win, I realise some away performances have not been good. But we’re still unbeaten at home and that’s also positive.
“You need to be realistic and, of course, it’s a difficult time because one win out of eight is a long time and we have not been winning enough.”
