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

      Maybe after Che and City games.. but he now has 3 assists and 1 goal that were lucky.. how long can that last?

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

        It's gonna last and you're gonna regret it

    6. copps
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      yeah he needs to show some consistency first

  4. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    30 points with Terry, Clyne, Bertrand, Hazard, Pellè, Costa and Welbeck left. Not bad, i guess.

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

      If one of those is your captain too, it's a lot better than not bad

  6. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers

    I bet there's still a lot of Naismith owners thanks to the Rambo/Rooney injury combo last week.

  7. Ludo

    Even if you don't think he's the best pick on paper, I think Di Maria is just too explosive to ignore.

  11. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Only reason I didn't captain di Maria on sky is because he doesn't play on the first day next week 😕

        Mertasacker just said in an interview " We want to score 1 more goal than them"

    Mane plays up front for Saints ?

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

      Lw

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      he and Tadic are basically a front 3 w/Pelle Tadic on the right (he's better than that , also left is no prob).

      Mane and Tad are OOP's.

  17. Donnie Brasco´s
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I dont see how Diego Costa can score more than 10 pts today (with bonus)

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

      If it's anything like last year he could get 20

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Why not?

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea are 8-1 up from the last two encounters.

      He could get a bagful

  18. Arvin-ation

    • 12 Years

  19. LewanGOALski

    1. Barnabus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

  20. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Don't feel so bad about bringing Falcao in now. Might even keep. Looking extremely dangeorous

  21. vanishing spray
    • 11 Years

  22. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    If we win this game we'll be in the top four for now. Not the best start but it's a great recovery.

  25. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Can do Cesc to ADM for no hit. But I don't want to.

    1. Barnabus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      It's Cesc or Sterling for me, one's gonna have to go for ADM.

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    Need not have used my WC
    Falcao scored same as Aguero
    Forster replaced Krul and did nothing special
    Baines missed a penalty after coming in for Chester who played
