Everton v Manchester United, 12.45pm

There’s an intriguing game in prospect at Goodison Park on Saturday, with Everton searching for their first Premier League win of the season against the Red Devils. The Toffees beat the same opponents 3-1 last February and you can get a hefty 7/2 with Stan James that they land a precious three points against a team which might decide to leave their star striker out.

You would have to be living on the moon not to notice the tabloid allegations focusing on Wayne Rooney this week and Sir Alex Ferguson may spare him returning to his former club and being jeered from the rooftops. However, the striker did play for England on Tuesday and he’s a 4/1 chance with bet365 to silence the home crowd by opening the scoring.

With or without Rooney, Manchester United are strong favourites at 10/11 (bet365) to win this match and continue a reasonably strong start to the season. Javier Hernandez (6/1 Bet Fred) is still looking for his first goal in club colours this season, while Paul Scholes is a 14/1 chance (Victor Chandler) to continue his strong start to the season by breaking the deadlock.

Even so, Everton have been dominating possession in recent matches without scoring goals and this is where things could slot into place for them. Stan James go 9/4 about David Moyes’ team on the Draw No Bet market and Jermaine Beckford is 8/1 with Paddy Power to open the scoring as he did against the same opponents for Leeds United in the FA Cup last term.
