Man Utd v Everton

The Blues travel to Manchester tomorrow to face Premier League champions Manchester United. The fixture earlier on in the season ended in a 1-0 win to United but Everton felt very hard done by after a good second half performance. Everton go into the game following a disappointing performance at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi Final against Merseyside rivals Liverpool. Whereas United go into the game after a good 4-0 win against Aston Villa.

In David Moyes' press conference earlier this week, the Blues manager revealed that Everton will be without England International Leighton Baines following a hamstring injury he picked up in the Semi Final last weekend. And, Everton could be without the left back for the rest of the season. As well as Baines, the Blues will be without Dutchman Royston Drenthe, who was disciplined by the club earlier this week, and Jack Rodwell who still has a hamstring problem. Other than these 3 absences, the rest of the side are available.

Everton's last visit to Old Trafford ended in another 1-0 loss after a late Hernandez goal but hopefully this season the Blues can redeem themselves after the Wembley loss.
