Man Utd host the in-form Everton at Old Trafford on Wednesday, with both sides looking for a boost going into the Christmas period.

Wayne Rooney

Utd were lucky to salvage a 2-2 draw against Tottenham last time out, with Wayne Rooney the man to save the day for the Red Devils with a crucial brace.

Possible Man Utd Lineup

Defence: Rafael could make a return to the starting line-up, having struggled with injuries throughout the campaign. The rest of the Utd backline should be unchanged from the draw at White Hart Lane.

Midfield: Phil Jones is suspended for one match after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Spurs. Marouane Fellaini could be the man to take his place, partnering Tom Cleverley in central midfield.

Moyes could possibly play Kagawa wide left, with Rooney in the number 10 role. Antonio Valencia should retain his spot on the right.

Forward: If Robin Van Persie does not have the right fitness levels to start the game; Javier Hernandez could be deployed up top with Rooney just behind him, after the Mexican looked threatening when coming on against Spurs.

Man Utd Recent Form: DWWWDD

Prediction: 1-1 – I can see the Toffees snatching a draw at Old Trafford, with Wayne Rooney once more pivotal to a Utd fight-back.
