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

    Fellow gylfi captainers. How worried are we about Costa?

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      As long as you have Costa also you can relax, unless he scores a hat-trick

        • 16 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Is that important?

  12. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Has Di Maria been like this every game? Trying to dribble 3 people and trying to outrun players from 10 yards behind?

        Hah no, 40% of the time he succeeds!

    Baines aint getting forward that much...
    content to sit back

    1. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Big game away from home, unsurprising. But watch out for him & Pienaar on the left flank, they combine very well.

    2. OneTwo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      For now

    3. Piggs Boson

  16. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    ADM + Pelle vs Aguero (7pts) + Mane - Hope I made the right choice

  17. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Almost every attack goes through ADM.

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mata ruined a ADM assist there. What a cross.

  19. Bobby
    • 16 Years

    Really looking forward to listening to Michael Owen for another 75 minutes...

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I love it. I haven't felt that way since Bale.

  22. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Has all the makings of a drab, low-scoring game.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

    2. Fantasy Gold

    4. beric

        • 14 Years
