Everton v Manchester United, Premier League Preview

Tomorrow Manchester United are playing Everton at Goodison Park in a early, early kick off at 12:00GMT. The good news before this match is that Everton have dropped more Premier League points to Manchester United at Goodison Park, than to any other club- Everton have dropped 41 points.

Tony Hibbert will be having a late fitness check on his ankle but Yobo and Anichebe are both available to play for Everton. Tim Cahill is still unavailable for the Toffees after his sending off against Liverpool.

There is some good news for Manchester United- Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are both fit and available for tomorrows match. Michael Carrick has been training throughout the week but tomorrows game is a bit too early for him but he should be fit for wednesdays match against West Ham.
Cristiano Ronaldo has recovered from a knock against Celtic and so has Berbatov.

Squads:
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, Brown, Neville, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, O'Shea, Ronaldo, Park, Fletcher, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez.
Everton: Howard, Baines, Hibbert, Yobo, Lescott, Jagielka, Arteta, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar, Vaughan, Saha, Anichebe, Yakubu, Nash, Rodwell, Valente, Jutkiewicz, Gosling, Baxter.

Managers:
Everton boss David Moyes:
"It is a game we are looking forward to. I think there will be more pressure on them to win the game.
"Obviously we need the points to move away from the wrong end of the table but we are in a situation where we have nothing to lose really, I think most people would expect Manchester United to win so we have to go out and try and make a real game of it.
"We have struggled recently trying to beat the top four but I think they would say that coming to try and beat Everton has been a struggle for them as well."
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney:
"For obvious reasons, Saturday is a big game for me.
"It is always nice for any player to score 100 goals and if I can do that back at Everton, where I started and at Goodison Park, where I scored my first Premier League goal, it would be really pleasing.
"But it wouldn't really matter if it was my first or my 100th, it would still be really sweet."

I can't wait until tomorrows match, it will be a tough one but we honestly cannot afford to drop anymore points even though we do have a game in hand, I am hoping for the full three points and a Rooney goal.

    Manchester United should be pretty strong with Ronaldo back on the line. We'll see.
