United Travel to Mersyside
Notes;
- United are without Scholes (Knee), Fabio (Shoulder) and Rio Ferdinand
is a doubt for the tie. Evra, Hargreaves and Carrick are expected to be available - Everton's Andy Van Der Meyde (Hamstring), Joseph Yobo (Virus), Lars Jacobsen
(Shoulder), Victor Anichebe (Hamstring) and Segundo Castillo (Hamstring), are all
doubts - Everton's key player, Tim Cahill is suspended for the game after being sent off
against Liverpool - Everton are in 8th place in the Barclays Premier League with 8 points from 8
games. - United see themselves picking up the pace and currently in 5th place with 14
points from a possible 21 - Everton haven't beaten United since the 20th of April 2005, after a 1-0 win at
Goodison
Form;
Manchester United are on a fantastic run of late after a sluggish start. They're on a
5 game un beaten run in the league and on an 8 game un-beaten run in all
competitions since their defeat to Liverpool in early September. They are also
averaging 3 goals in their games now and haven't conceded a goal since their
victory over Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup (3-1)
Everton are on a poor run and haven't won a game since September 14th away
to Stoke. Since they've dropped points to Hull, Blackburn, Liverpool, Newcastle
and Arsenal, coupled with being knocked out of the European arena. They are on
the back of a 3-1 defeat away at Arsenal.

Key Players
Manchester United - Wayne Rooney is simply the man to see these days and he's
firing on all cylinders and its arguable the best form he's been in since joining
United 4 years ago. The English man has netted in every one of United's last 5
games in all competitions along with scoring 4 goals on International duty with
England. Cristiano who?
Everton - Mikel Arteta is the Toffees main man and basically their play maker.
More often then not, all of Evertons meaningful moves go through him and he's
not shy of shooting either. He's joint top of the Premier League's assister table
with 4 and netted twice
