Man Utd have won their last three Premiership games, whilst Everton are unbeaten in seven games. Man Utd have won 12 of the last 14 Premier League matches.

Fergie: Everton have done so well

"Everton have done exceptionally well this season and David Moyes takes all the credit for that.

"It is a young team with a future which augurs well for Everton. They will be a handful and we'll need our best form.

"David has put youngsters on long-term contracts to keep some continuity and made some good buys to strengthen."

Injuries and Suspensions

Sir Alex Ferguson will have Rio Ferdinand, Carlos Tevez and Wes Brown back as the trio should be fit.

David Moyes will be without injured trio of Leon Osman, Alan Stubbs and Leighton Baines. But goalkeeper Tim Howard, Ayegbeni Yakubu, Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill, and Joseph Yobo could all return.
