Manchester United v Everton: match preview

Manchester United v Everton
Manchester United v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

After the exhilaration of the 1-0 derby win at Manchester City, Manchester United have eight league matches to move up from sixth to fourth place and thus qualify for the Champions League. Everton were downed 3-0 at Goodison Park in October’s reverse fixture and Louis van Gaal said it was a complete display. How Van Gaal would love a repeat over a Roberto Martínez side whose 38 points is a poor yield given their array of stellar talents, led by Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley. Jamie Jackson
