Man Utd v Everton
Preview
Manchester United can go five points clear at the top of the table if they beat Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Saturday's late kick-off pits two of the Premier League's in-form sides against each other with United unbeaten since their 2-1 loss away at Arsenal in November.
In fact, the champions have not conceded a league goal since the two at Emirates Stadium and will fancy their chances of keeping another clean sheet against an Everton side running low on strikers.
The Toffees, however, haven't lost in seven league games and have held United's title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool to draws in recent weeks.
Team News
Man Utd[/b]
Sir Alex Ferguson could welcome back defender Patrice Evra. The Frenchman has been ruled out with an ankle injury since the 3-0 win over Chelsea.
Portuguese winger Nani could also return from a groin injury which he picked up in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Derby.
Defender Rio Ferdinand is likely to continue his comeback after his surprise inclusion in midweek against West Brom.
The England centre-back has struggled with a back injury in recent weeks but came through the clash at the Hawthorns unscathed.
Fellow defender Wes Brown made his first appearance since October, coincidentally in the 1-1 draw against Everton, after he replaced Ferdinand for the final 20 minutes.
Brown could be in line for a start if Ferguson decides to give captain Gary Neville a rest after playing in the club's last four games.
Despite the return of a number of their injured stars the treatment room remains busy at Old Trafford with Wayne Rooney (hamstring), Anderson (ankle), Rafael (hamstring), Fabio (calf), Jonny Evans (ankle) and Danny Wellbeck (ankle) all out.
Everton
Midfielder Tim Cahill remains a major doubt for the Toffees after he limped off in the final five minutes of the draw with Arsenal with a foot injury.
Good news for David Moyes' men is the fact that X-rays have revealed no damage but heavy bruising means the Australian may be forced to sit out.
The possible loss of the 29-year-old will pose more problems for Moyes in the striking department with Cahill scoring four goals in the eight games he has played while filling in up front.
Everton will continue to be without long-term casualties Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Achilles) and James Vaughan (knee) while Louis Saha will miss the opportunity to face his former club with a hamstring injury.
Better news is that defender Nuno Valente may make a return from a knee injury.

David Moyes:Match Facts
Manchester United and Everton was originally scheduled for Monday night, but brought forward as Everton must host Liverpool in their fourth round FA Cup replay next Wednesday.
United are on course and in the driving seat to complete a second hat-trick of Premier League titles. The reigning World, European and 10 times Premier League champions, are two points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
The Red Devils have picked up 26 points out of last possible 30. Aston Villa have gained 24 points over the same 10-match period, Arsenal 19, and Liverpool and Chelsea only 16 each.

Everton go to the Theatre of Dreams on a seven-match unbeaten league run, and with a better away record than that achieved at Goodison this season. They're seeking an eighth league maximum on the road.
Manchester United have won more matches (25), gained more points (80) and scored more goals (68) against Everton than any other club in the Premier League.

Peter Beardsley, Robert Warzycha and Mo Johnston scored without reply in Everton's very first Premier League visit to Old Trafford on 19 August 1992. It's their only maximum in this league at the Theatre of Dreams.

My View: Man Utd are getting into form and would be expected to win this one but Everton have shown great spirit and play over the last few weeks getting draws against Liverpool and Arsenal. But with their injury crisi up front they could struggle to score but can still get a draw.
Prediction: Man Utd 2-0 Everton
