Manchester United vs Everton: Odds and predictions as Marcus Rashford aims for early Christmas present

Everton will have Big Dunc - who regularly tormented Manchester United throughout his playing career - in the dug-out, but they won't have the Gwladys Street baying their players on.

Can Manchester United take advantage?

We asked out Old Trafford expert Samuel Luckhurst how he thinks Sunday's game is going to go.

Win, lose or draw?

Win. United have the momentum and have to build on their wins over Spurs and City to make them a 'turning point'.

They have big-game nous but a small-time mentality and have got to address that as soon as possible.

But Everton's defence is so porous and you suspect that, without the Gwladys Street crowd cowing opponents, they will wilt at United. The home win is a very, very big 4/5 with thepools.com .

Who's a good bet for first scorer?

Rashford. Again. He's equalled his season-best club tally of 13 and will be desperate to beat it before Christmas. At 14/5 he's a great bet to open the scoring, while he's 21/20 to score any time.

Who's on the naughty step? (first yellow card)

Luke Shaw. He still does not look fully fit and got booked as a substitute against Aston Villa earlier this month.

Who's on pens?

Rashford. He's scored his last two. See above.

Will United keep a clean sheet?

Probably not. United have kept two league clean sheets all season and Everton have threatening attackers buoyed by the Chelsea win. Both Teams To Score is a solid 3/4 while United to win and Both teams To Score is a huge 5/2 .
