Everton against Manchester United is always an interesting fixture, as it’s the one against the top sides that has really gone either way over the years.
There have been some excellent fixtures in recent years, none more so than the 4-4 epic back in 2012.

Sylvain Distin, Johnny Heitinga, Marouane Fellaini, Leighton Baines, Steven Pienaar, Denis Stracqualursi, Nikica Jelavic and of course Tim Cahill all featured in the 18-man squad.
That was a matchday 18 filled with immense character and charm; we remember all of those players, for different reasons. Many of them were great for Everton, regardless of how long they were here for.
We seem to be getting back to a place similar to that, with Mr Brands’ acquisitions, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
