The Dugout Discussion – United v Everton

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 holeâ€, 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

        Big chances missed

        If they can have a "big chance created" stat then they must be able to do it

        Anyway my point is there should be no negative points. No getting the points is enough

        If I had (c) Baines that would be a 16 point swing excluding bonus !

    I'm currently a Falcao owner. His movement looked decent today, but he still looks a little rusty. I'm tempted to transfer him out and transfer ADM in for United cover. I get the feeling that Di Maria is going to score a lot of points this season.

    Any thoughts on this?
