Goodison Park heralds the start of a defining eight-day period for the visitors and their hopes of Champions League football next season. Manchester City and Chelsea follow the trip to Everton for United, who have lost five of their last seven games and dipped dramatically since the hasty appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjær as permanent manager. Ander Herrera is available after injury as United look to react to their midweek lesson from Barcelona in the Champions League. Everton have beaten Chelsea and Arsenal in their last two home fixtures. Andy Hunter
