this is a tough match. man city and now chelsea have now lost at goodison park. looks like united have to battle hard there to win or even draw. Rooney is going home where he will be booed by the everton fans.
-
tough tough away game. if united does win, it will have to do it with the hardway.
I hope Rooney keep his cool and not blow his fuse and get sent offf.

every match is different. evern though united record against everton is good at goodison park, you never know. all it takes is for everton to be on fire and united off colour on match day to suffer a defeat.

one thing, the tormentors of Everton, one is Saha, on red hot form now, and the other, Fellaini is out so it sort of balance out for us.

In-form Reds face a tough test against confident Toffees who beat Chelsea last time out...
Form guide: After a difficult start to the season, David Moyes’ men have found form and are moving steadily up the table. They now lie in 9th place with defeats to Liverpool (League) and Birmingham (FA Cup) being the only blots on their copybook in 2010. They will be buoyed by victories over Chelsea and Sporting Lisbon in their last two games. The Reds are aiming to stretch an unbeaten run in the league to nine games, and it would be foolish to bet against Sir Alex's men after some impressive results against Milan, Man City, Portsmouth and Arsenal in recent weeks.
Ins and outs: Marouane Fellaini has been ruled out for the rest of the season - and reportedly requires surgery - after picking up an ankle injury in the Merseyside Derby nearly a fortnight ago. Another star midfielder, Tim Cahill, is a doubt having suffered a calf strain in Tuesday’s win over Sporting Lisbon. More positively for the Toffees, Spaniard Mikel Arteta is fit again after a long lay-off. The Reds are without the suspended Nani and Rio Ferdinand, while Nemanja Vidic is doubtful after failing to travel to Milan in midweek, and Ryan Giggs is out until next month after fracturing his arm against Villa.
Star man: Ex-Red Louis Saha is bang in form having found a new lease of life at Goodison Park. He has hit 15 goals this season, including both strikes in Everton’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea. A handful for defenders, the Frenchman has the flair to match his strength and ability to hold up the ball.Manager: Moyes has worked wonders on Merseyside and, despite a shaky start this term, he has hauled Everton up the table. Under his stewardship Everton are now considered one of the Premier League’s strongest teams. The fiery Scot is also one of the longest-serving managers in the top flight having joined in 2002.
Referee: Howard Webb was last in charge of a United game in the Reds' Carling Cup semi-final second leg win over City at Old Trafford. The man from South Yorkshire has dished out four red cards in 29 games this season and was last at Goodison Park for the Toffees FA Cup defeat to Birmingham. His last game between Saturday’s two teams ended in a 2-1 victory for the Reds at OT back in December 2007.
Rivals watch: The Reds are first up on Saturday lunchtime, with Arsenal (home to Sunderland) and Chelsea (away at Wolves) both playing at 15:00 GMT. Aston Villa host Burnley and Tottenham travel to Wigan on Sunday, with the most intriguing fixture of the weekend being between Manchester City and Liverpool at Eastlands, also on Sunday. -
Rooney seems to score against Everton and with his red hot form at the moment, i'm actually looking forward to see him notch a hat-trick.
United need to be wary of the threat Cahill possess. His headers are top quality - he's able to score or assist just by heading the ball.
I hope United will win and move up to the summit once again.
-
Saha is a threat. united defenders need to mark him closely, if not look at the havoc he will create/exploit.
-
Guys, what is your prediction?
Me: Everton 2 Man U 1
I hope it is wrong....hope is it the other way round.
Everton home game look solid.
-
A good thing 'big head' won't be playing in this match.
-
Hope Saha get injured in warm up game on saturday

Cahill blow for Everton: Injured midfielder set to miss United, Spurs and Sporting fixtures
Injury blow: Tim Cahill could miss three important games
Everton fear midfielder Tim Cahill could miss their next three games with the calf strain he picked up against Sporting Lisbon.
They face champions Manchester United at Goodison Park On Saturday and Tottenham at White Hart Lane eight days later, with a Europa League last-32 return meeting with Sporting Lisbon in Portugal in between.
Marouane Fellaini has already been ruled out for six months by manager David Moyes.
-
united should buy Fellaini when he recover from his injury. he is young and can do well for united. he will surely improve in leaps and bound. a replacement for anderson, who will be leaving united in the off season.

scholes is already 35, how long can he go on, plus anderson is more or less confirmed going. plus fellaini got potential to succeed at a big club plus he is quite young, 22 is it? he has potential to do well at united.
fletcher and carrick cant play all the games. plus hargreaves, dunno when he will be back. even if he is back, he is injury prone. considering all these, united mifield need an overhaul.
-
don't forget about gibson, the scholes v.2.
but he still need time to evolve.
