Everton v Man Utd
Monday 20^th August 2012, KO 20:00

Monday night’s live game sees David Moyes’ Everton host fellow Scot Sir Alex Ferguson and his formidable Manchester United side. Everton finished last season in cracking form, losing just one of their last games and will be confident ahead of the new campaign. Man Utd have made some good looking additions to their squad over the summer and they will expect once again to be challenging for the Premier League title.

David Moyes continues to work wonders at Everton season after season and their fans will be pleased that he starts this new campaign still at the helm. He was linked with numerous vacant jobs during the summer but has stayed loyal to the Blues. Everton produced some really excellent results towards the back end of last season and with a couple of fresh faces having arrived in the transfer window, they look set for another successful period.

The Utd squad will have been gutted to have lost the Premier League title in such dramatic fashion to fierce rivals Man City, especially on the back of such a disappointing European campaign. Sir Alex Ferguson has brought in the highly rated Shinji Kagawa to bolster his squad and they should be bang there once again this season. Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic will be key too their chances of success.

Man Utd obviously come into this game as favourites, but the form in which Everton finished last season means they warrant plenty of respect. I think they are capable of taking a point from Utd in their first game of the 2012-13 season.
