Man United vs Everton (PREVIEW)

United entertain Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday, looking to complete the double over the toffees for the first time since 2007. United should come into the game with confidence, after a fantastic win at the Ethiad against rivals man city before the international break, but unpredictability in performance has been the bane of Manchester United's form throughout the season. However, United have won 3/5 of their last previous games in the League, and should just start the game as favourites to beat Everton. 
Everton go into the game very much in the same stead as their opponents. Very unpredictable in form and results and they have turned up on times this season and performed very well against top sides. But inconsistencies have lead them to currently being 13th in the Premier League table, a position that most Everton fans will be discontent with. Recent form wise Everton have only won 2/5 games, however they have a more impressive away record, winning 3/3 trips on the road in the league, something of a concern for United, maybe. 
United Lineup 
GK- De Gea: an obvious one, he picks himself in the team.
RB - Darmian: more match fitness under his belt for Italy, think Varela was poor in the Derby. 
CB- Smalling: again, picks himself.
CB- Blind: did well against England. And played well against Aguero, his long balls could be useful against a weak Everton defence. 
LB- Rojo: more match fitness for Argentina, get him a run of games, like his passion and aggression. 
CDM- Schniederlin: should be starting every game for me, solid player who breaks up attacks and works hard. 
CM- Herrera: compliments Schniederlin well, provides balance to the midfield, has a killer pass in him, need his tenacity against Barkely. 
CAM- Mata: technically the best player in the squad. Far superior player as a no. 10, creative, set piece genius, lots of opportunities vs Everton. 
LW- Depay: play the lad! 2 assists for Holland in break. Give him game time and a run of games and he performs, need unpredictability. 
RW- Lingard: played very well against city, takes people on and can score goals, bags of energy. Rashford needs a rest after 8 games on bounce. 
CF- Martial: prefer him as a complete forward, offers more, play to feet. 
Subs; Romero, Varela, Fosu-Mensah, Valencia, Carrick, Periera, Rashford. 

The danger man for Everton has to be Romelu Lukaku. With an impressive 25 goals in all competitions this year, he needs to be dealt with. I think he's one of the best strikers in the league, and on the brink of being one of the best in Europe. Barkely is also a threat from long range and set pieces, he needs to be denied space. 

Prediction; 3-1 United. (Martial, 2; Herrera: Lukaku). 

Come on United!
