Everton eye United upset
They like to talk big
Everton visit Old Trafford on Sunday determined not to let United do a quickfire Merseyside double and to show they are capable of breaking into the Premier League's elite band of clubs.
Toffees boss David Moyes has guided his team to sixth place, level on points with Liverpool, nine points behind United.
Everton may not be on a par with the top four in terms of financial resource, but Moyes has built a team based on a strong work-ethic and no shortage of talent.
"When people say it is impossible to break into the top four I see that as fighting talk and our motivation," Moyes told Evertonfc.com.
"When we finished fourth two years ago people said it was a blip, so it is up to us to do it all again.
"This is the best squad I have had, so why not? They are probably playing the best as well, but they still have to beat the squad that finishes fourth two seasons ago and that will take some doing."
Phil Neville, one of two former United players in Everton's squad including Tim Howard, says getting results in Christmas fixtures against United and Arsenal will be vital in proving his side can loosen the top four's grip.
"I think weÂ’re going in the right direction," he told Everton's official website."Everybody is keeping their feet on the ground.
"The Christmas period is going to be telling because we play Manchester United and Arsenal. If we come out of that period still up in the top six then we can really attack the second half of the season."

I realise United vs Everton matches always near end of the year...

I cannot see Man U losing. And I don't think Everton's defense that strong - so, I think, a low scoring affair once more...
