Sunday gets underway with a noon kick-off at Old Trafford as United prepare to take on Everton. The Toffees registered back-to-back wins over their hosts last season, though with Louis van Gaal at the helm, the Red Devils are slowly starting to find their feet and go in search of a third successive home win this afternoon.

With Wayne Rooney suspended, Van Gaal – as expected – hands Juan Mata the role in “the hole”, while Antonio Valencia replaces the injured Ander Herrera in one of only two changes by the Dutchman. Up top, Robin van Persie goes in search of a third successive strike and strike partner Radamel Falcao is still looking for his first goal since arriving on loan from Monaco.

The likes of Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin and James McCarthy all miss out for Everton, though Steven Pienaar returns to the XI, as Roberto Martinez rolls out a 4-2-3-1, with the South African joining Steven Naismith and Aiden McGeady in the attacking midfield three behind Romelu Lukaku.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Was Baines' penalty poor or a good save from De Gea?

  5. Mr Tin

    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Does this look worth it (-8)? Looking for a way to get Aguero into my team. Essentially JWP has to go anyway so the only real loss is Fab.

    Fabregas, JWP & Ulloa > Chadli, Boyd & Aguero

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yuck no

  6. conan_hn
    • 12 Years

    Who benched / sold Naismith last week?

    1. _nod
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Came very close to switching him out for Welbeck.

      1. conan_hn
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Lucky you. Transferred him out myself 🙁

    2. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I benched him 🙁

      Any chance Schneiderlin wont play for SOU? 😀

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Got rid on my WC this week, but still happy

  7. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Imagine if he scored that peno too 😯

    1. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Owning Baines is one hell of a f**king ride!

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Never owned before and got him this week. He has never missed a peno in his pl history until today typical ha

  8. AlCapwnUK

    ADM in FPL
    Naismith in UFPL

    Good game, shame i don't have both in both

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      ADM is UFPL gold

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I know, didn't get him in though so I am a bit stuck
        Is loaning worth it?

  9. weeurquahrt
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    united gunna fold here

  10. Luz1978
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I wish lukaku would play to his price tag just once!!!

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      doesn't deserve the cost.
      I don't think he is worth more than a fit Giroud for example

      1. Luz1978
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, typical example of a premiership player being sold for much more than he is worth...

    1. Chinese_person
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I am getting rid if no goal today. Plenty of cheaper and better options right now.

  12. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ivanovic's performance today will decide if I trade him out for Baines for some weeks

    1. Judeksi
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      same thing here, interesting times..

  13. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Baines nearly another assist

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      This is not the game I want pts from him 🙁

  14. Willis.
    • 14 Years

    I was thinking of ADM -> Chadli & Naismith -> Aguero before this match but I might just save those transfers now 🙂

  19. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Falcao doing something right after all.

  20. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Just your average 26% ownership for Naismith..

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      b*stard,

  21. Optimus.
    • 15 Years

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance Naismith will go up to 12.2m this week so I can swap for Aguero?

  23. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok I give in. Sell whoever to get Baines. He definitely is essential.

    1. Bubz
