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

            He'll come good eventually. It's just hard to tell when that'll be. It could be a while.

      I know, still can't believe it. Belter from Hibbert today would make for some of it! 😆

      1. Punty
        • 12 Years

    Where is the 't' in Blind?

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

      Blind(t), are you blind?

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Can't see it.

  8. Honeybadger
    • 11 Years

    Would be so annoyed playing together with RVP, he doesn't stop shouting for the ball pointing down his arms...

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He thinks he is the boss. Wish we sold him instead of Hernandez

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        We haven't sold Hernandez

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

      He's such a good example of a c**t

      1. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        cund

      2. Honeybadger
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Then he would feel right at home in Liverpool 🙂

      3. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        capt?

  9. Coaly
    • 13 Years

    Shaw looks very heavy on his feet

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      fatso

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

    Shaw's looked great so far.

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

      lol @ comment above yours

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years

    Rojo looking really dodgy again. Almost every time he has the ball he looks like giving it away or making a mistake. Needs a bit more composure.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He has looked dodgy today so far.

      1. Bob.
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I guess it is going to take him a while to adapt. Early days yet

  12. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    ADM likes shooting now. Can see more goals for him this season than in La Liga.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No Ronaldo to yell at him 😉

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

      Not gonna score many from 40 yards

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Di Maria involved in everything United is creating.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      So not much then

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Enough.

  14. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    James Beattie is not very good at summarising the action (SSN)

    Looks completely uninterested. Can't believe he's getting paid for his nonsense

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      him, michael owen and eidur gudjohnsen should be banned from tv. most boring pundits ever.

  15. Dilzy
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    I need to fix my defence

    Begovic McCarthy

    Clyne Dawson (WBA) PvA [Duff Moore]

    ADM Siggy Cesc Sterling [Boyd]

    Welbeck Costa Aguero

    2 FT's £1.7m ITB

    I'm thinking Begovic & Dawson -> Szczesny & Moreno. Anyone got a better idea?

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

    Utd had a shot on target yet?

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

      Yes

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Header from Falcao.

    3. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      In the 2nd minute

  17. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Gonna be 1-1 at best. Not what I was looking for from this game.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      can't see everton scoring

    2. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Annoying, but will still not get him with the upcoming fixtures.

  18. I-Taught-Danny-Welbeck-How-…
    • 12 Years

    Di Maria really is box office. Di Maria, Costa and Aguero representing the Prem League this season.

  19. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Everton not committing men forward and Man Utd can't find space

  20. Somalion
    • 16 Years

    YC for Pienaar, silly challenge.

  21. Your Mum's Athletic
