Everton face a trip to Manchester United at Old Trafford at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Toffees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 47 and win only 18 of the 85 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2007, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premier League match.
