The two teams stride out to the pitch and the customary pre-match rituals are done and dusted. Kick-off coming up very soon.
Everton get the game underway, kicking from left to right in the first half and Manchester United the other way. It is a special occasion for Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim, who is celebrating his first anniversary as United manager.
Everton defender James Tarkowski gets into a scuffle with Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee, as neither is willing to back down. The referee defuses the situation with words rather can cards.
Meanwhile, Toffees skipper Seamus Coleman has to be subbed off less than 10 minutes into the game, owing to an unfortunate injury. Jake O'Brien comes in for him.
Well, well, well. What's happened there? Idrissa Gueye is shown a straight red card and sent off in the 13th minute! Reason: hitting his own teammate Michael Keane.
The duo sparred after an unsuccessful Bruno Fernandes attempt at the Everton goal and Gueye gets violent, prompting the referee to eject him.
The players and spectators were definitely taken aback by the Gueye-Keane incident, which happened out of the blue. It was not clear what provoked Gueye to slap Keane, but either way, hitting your own teammate is always an unsavoury sight.
Everton shrug off the setback and how! Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall comes up with a corker of a goal, unfurling a sizzling shot after dodging a couple of United defenders to put the visitors in the lead in the 29th minute, despite the numerical disadvantage.
Manchester United forward Bryan Mbeumo fouls James Garner and gets booked. Meanwhile, four minutes added at the end of the first half, which is about to draw to a close.
The referee blows the whistle and it's Everton who go into the break with a 1-0 lead, despite that extraordinary red card to Idrissa Gueye. United have a lot to think about after a tepid first-half show despite a one-man advantage.
Even as the world wonders whether Gueye and Keane interacted in the break and if so, what they said to each other, the teams return to the pitch and the second half begins. Everton now kicking from right to left and Manchester United the other way.
A couple of substitutions for United in the 58th minute. Casemiro and Patrick Dorgu go out, and in come Kobbie Mainoo and Diogo Dalot.
We are now into the last 20 minutes of regulation time. If the scoreline stays this way, United's five-match unbeaten streak will be broken, and that too on the occasion of Ruben Amorim's first anniversary as boss at Old Trafford.
A couple of late changes for Everton. Tim Iroegbunam and Beto are in for Thierno Barry and Iliman Ndiaye, respectively in the 82nd minute. All the Toffees need to do is preserve their one-goal lead for five-odd minutes, though United still have a one-man advantage.
The regulation 90 minutes are up and four added as injury time. Before that, two more substitutions for Everton: Dwight McNeil and Carlos Alcaraz come in for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish.
Everton hold on! After a frantic final few minutes, where Manchester United kept looking desperately for an equaliser but couldn't find one, the final whistle is blown. David Moyes' side wins 1-0 at Old Trafford to mar Ruben Amorim's first-year anniversary with the Red Devils.
It is only the second Everton win in 33 visits at United, and they overtake Liverpool to jump to 11th in the Premier League table, just below United on goals scored.
