Manchester United expect Rio Ferdinand, Carlos Tevez and Wes Brown to have
shaken off minor knocks.
Park Ji-sung is unlikely to figure, having this week missed a reserve-team
game against Oldham, but he is expected to feature over the festive period.
Tim Howard, Ayegbeni Yakubu, Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill and Joseph Yobo could
all return for Everton after being rested against AZ Alkmaar.
Everton will be without Leon Osman, Alan Stubbs and Leighton Baines.

BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ The top two clubs on the Premier League's "Last Six Form" table go
head-to-head at Old Trafford; Everton have claimed 14 of the 18 points,
Manchester United 13.
＊ The Red Devils are on the longest current winning sequence in the
highest league of three games; the Merseysiders are on the longest
current unbeaten run of seven.
＊ Both clubs are ever-presents in the Premier League, each playing their
600th match. United have won more than any other club (379); Everton
have lost more (236).
＊ Manchester United have won more Premier League matches against Everton
than any other club, and the Merseysiders have lost more games in this
league against the Red Devils that any other side (24).
CLUB FORM
1. Won 17 of 21 in all competitions, and lost one of 15.
2. One of two clubs with as many as 12 Premier League wins; the other is
Arsenal.
3. Boasting the tightest defence in the highest league; just eight goals
shipped in 17 outings, at one every 191 minutes (three hours 11 minutes)
of Premier League football played on average.
4. Won 12 of the last 14 Premier League matches, losing just one of the 14.
5. Kept clean sheets in nine of the last 14 league outings, and failed to
score in one of their last 14 league games; the 1-0 loss, away to Bolton
on 24 November.
6. Not lost in any league game this term in which they have scored; won 12
and drawn two of 14.
7. Scored first in an unequalled 13 Premier League matches; won 11 and drawn
two.
8. Conceded only two goals in the last 15 minutes of Premier League matches
this term; only Arsenal and Liverpool can match that.
9. One of four clubs still unbeaten at home in the Premier League, having
conceded just two goals; fewer than any other club. Hoping to add the
scalp of Everton to those of Spurs, Sunderland, Chelsea, Wigan,
Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Fulham and Derby gained in the last eight
outings at the Theatre of Dreams.
10. Next is a Boxing Day visit to Sunderland, and a trip to West Ham three
days later, before the New Year's Day fixture home to Birmingham.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
＊ Cristiano RONALDO is Manchester United's top scorer with 14 goals.
＊ RONALDO is also their leading Premier League marksman with nine. He
jointly leads the race for the Barclays Golden Boot, alongside Arsenal's
Emmanuel ADEBAYOR, and Ayegbeni YAKUBU of Middlesbrough.
＊ Rio FERDINAND is the only remaining player to have started all of
Manchester United's Premier League matches this season.
＊ If selected:
- Wayne ROONEY will be facing a former club. The 21 year old England
international striker made 77 appearances (67 in the league) and
scored 17 goals (15 league) for Everton at the beginning of his
professional career from February 2003 to his ￡20m move to Old
Trafford in August 2004.
＊ If on the field from the outset:
- Nemanja VIDIC will be making his 50th Premier League start in a
Manchester United shirt.
- Chris EAGLES will be making his 50th club league start
(Manchester United, Watford and Sheffield Wednesday).
- Long term injury, Gary NEVILLE will be making his 350th Premier
League start for Manchester United.
HEAD TO HEAD
＊ Manchester United are unbeaten in five Premier League matches against
Everton, and have won the last three.
＊ Duncan Ferguson scored the only goal of the game in the Toffees' last
victory over United at Goodison Park on 20 April 2005.
＊ Peter Beardsley, Robert Warzycha and Mo Johnston scored without reply
in Everton's very first Premier League visit to Old Trafford on 19
August 1992. It's their only maximum in this league at the Theatre
of Dreams.
