Manchester United are currently a misfiring proposition so Everton, below them only on goal difference, should fancy their chance of handing Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side another home Premier League defeat. Rafael Benítez oversaw wins at Old Trafford when in charge of Liverpool and if he performs the feat again this would surely endear him to Everton fans unimpressed by his Red loyalties. Jamie Jackson
