Squad sheets: Everton v Manchester United

A win at Aldershot in the Carling Cup cannot count as catharsis for Manchester United. Following the 6-1 loss at Old Trafford in the derby match, it is this game that will tell us most about the manner in which Sir Alex Ferguson's side has regrouped. The fixture is seldom simple. United have not won at Goodison since September 2007 and Everton scored twice at the very end of last season's game for a 3-3 draw. The hosts' prospects this weekend will depend on improving their current home form. They have had one league win there in four attempts.
