The hosts go in to the game on the back of their 1-0 win over Fulham last weekend, a result that extended their unbeaten league run to thirteen games.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have won twenty of their twenty five games, and sit well clear of neighbours Manchester City, with a twentieth league title looking increasingly likely.

Ashley Young is available after missing the last five games with a knee injury, while Phil Jones and Michael Carrick could both feature after both recovering from problems that kept them out of international duty midweek.

Top scorer Robin Van Persie is favourite to open the scoring at 4.33 (10/3) with Stan James whilst Wayne Rooney, who has three in his last two, is 5.0 (4/1) across the board.

The home win is available at 1.8 (4/5), with Everton as highly priced as 5.0 (4/1). The draw is 4.0 (3/1) with Bet Victor.

The visitors, who are now six points off a Champion’s League qualification place following Tottenham Hotspur’s win over Newcastle on Saturday lunchtime, shared out six goals with struggling Aston Villa last time out.

They had been 3-1 down with little over twenty minutes to play, though two goals from Marouane Fellaini salvaged a point for David Moyes men.

The Belgian could feature despite missing Belgium’s midweek friendly with a hip injury, with Phil Jagielka also likely to play though Tony Hibbert and Seamus Coleman remain out.

Top scorer Fellaini is 11.0 (10/1) with BEt Victor to get the first goal of the game, with Nikica Jelavic the same price with the same firm.

Fellaini grabbed the winner in the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season, though it is arguably the corresponding game last season that is more memorable.

Having trailed by two goals with just seven minutes left to play, late goals from Jelavic and Steven Pienaar salvaged a point for the Toffee’s, dealing a huge blow to United’s title challenge.

Bet Victor offer a price of 301.0 (300/1) for repeat of that remarkable 4-4 score-line.
