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 48 and win only 18 of the 86 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2009, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premier League match.
