14:00 - Hey everyone I am Danial Kennedy and welcome to VAVEL's coverage of Everton - Manchester United
Head-to-head
Goodison Park has become a very difficult place to visit for Van Gaal’s side with Everton winning the last three home meetings and managing to keep those clean sheets in all those matches and victory would see them match their own previous record as they were the last side to win four-in-a-row against the Red Devils between the period of 1984-87.
They taught Van Gaal’s a footballing back in April with an excellent performance with goals from James McCarthy, Stones and Kevin Mirallas giving them an excellent 3-0 victory and well-earned three points.
Team news
Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is expected to be out after he picked up a thigh injury while on international duty with Germany with Morgan Schneiderlin expected to be recalled in the centre of the park.
Captain Wayne Rooney sat out both of England’s Euro 2016 qualifiers after he picked up a knock in the defeat to Arsenal but after taking part in training on Thursday he is expected to be fit for the visit to his former club.
Martinez will be happy that his side have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash with John Stones and Ross Barkley expecting to make their return to the side.
Full-back Leighton Baines is lined up to make his return for his first start of the season against Sunderland at the beginning of next month while midfielder Tom Cleverley reportedly a week behind his recovery.
Toffees sticky consistency
It has been a great start to the season for Roberto Martinez’s side as they currently sit just two points outside of the Champions League places which is a great improvement comparing it to the contrast of last season.
However despite losing just two matches of their opening ten games in all competitions their consistency has cost them so far as they have failed to win back-to-back matches so far in this campaign.
Tough run of games
It has been a tough run of matches for the Toffees in the past few weeks as they managed to remain unbeaten and made a return of nine points with matches against Swansea City, West Brom, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham.
It doesn’t get any easier from here as after the clash with Van Gaal’s side they will travel to the Emirates to take Arsenal.
United’s positive start
Louis Van Gaal will be happy with his side after eight matches as they currently sit in third position and only two points behind current leaders City.
They came back from the previous international break all guns blazing after a defeat to Swansea City before the break with victories over Liverpool, Southampton and Sunderland as well as brushing aside Ipswich Town and Wolfsburg in both the Capital One Cup and Champions League respectively.
Van Gaal will be hoping for the same again this time around after they were humbled by potential title rivals Arsenal, goals from Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez the highlights of a blistering 3-0 victory.
Manchester United will be looking to keep the pressure on rivals Manchester City when they travel to bogey side Everton on Saturday afternoon.
