Squad sheets: Everton v Manchester United
There has been a rapprochement from both sides of the Wayne Rooney/Everton divide in recent weeks but the true test of any improved relations will always be reserved for Goodison Park, particularly if the outstanding striker adds to his 25 goals in United colours this season. Both sides displayed defensive weaknesses in Europe this week and the absence of Marouane Fellaini and Tim Cahill presents a major problem for the hosts, although their last league win here – against Chelsea – came without the hirsute Belgian and Steven Pienaar. United have not lost at Goodison Park for almost five years.
