United arrive fresh from a 3-0 loss at Arsenal but with a fit Wayne Rooney for a classic fixture that the Everton manager is delighted to see kick off at the classic time and with Séamus Coleman and John Stones back after injury. “Goodison probably gets at its very best against United and when it pushes you with that energy you feel you can cope with anything,” Roberto Martínez said.
