Four changes for United

Champions Manchester United have made four changes as they look to apply pressure on Chelsea in today’s early Premier League kick-off at Everton.

Two of them are enforced as Rio Ferdinand and Nani serve domestic suspensions while Rafael and Paul Scholes also make way from the side that won at AC Milan in midweek.

Dimitar Berbatov comes in to join former Everton star Wayne Rooney up front while Antonio Valencia also returns, with Gary Neville and Wes Brown filling in at the back.

Another defender, Nemanja Vidic, is included on the bench at Goodison Park after almost two months out with a nerve problem.

Everton have brought in Diniyar Bilyaletdinov for the injured Tim Cahill while John Heitinga replaces Joseph Yobo.

Everton: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Osman, Arteta, Bilyaletdinov, Pienaar, Saha.

Subs: Nash, Yobo, Vaughan, Gosling, Yakubu, Rodwell, Coleman.

Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Valencia, Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Rooney, Berbatov.

Subs: Foster, Owen, Vidic, Scholes, Rafael Da Silva, Obertan, Gibson.

Referee: Howard Webb.
