Everton vs Manchester United
English Premier League, Saturday 13h45
The club football is back after the international fixtures and I am picking an intriguing encounter to analyze. Everton take on Manchester United at Goodison Park and the stats are not on the hosts side. Everton has only one point from 3 games compared to United's seven. Everton are used to getting off to poor start of the season. The last couple of season's it was the same old story for them, having to get back in the pack. The good news for David Moyes is the fact that he has his three better players injury-free and we will enjoy watching Tim Cahill,  Mikel Arteta and Steven Pienaar battling out with Sir Alex Ferguson's troops.
Last year's corresponding feature finished 3-1 for the hosts. United will have had more players on international duty and maybe that will be a disadvantage. Rio Ferdinand, Hargreaves and Anderson will miss out, while Rooney was doubtful but will play following the press scandal he was involved in last week.
I tip Everton not to lose this tie, at 4/5.
