Preamble
This 1 has a spot of a nostalgic feel, for illustration immoderate benignant of sepia ITV fever dream pinch Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend connected comms (unfortunately you’ll person to make do pinch me). Maybe it’s because it’s Old Trafford nether nan lights and nan distant memories of those palatial Champions League evenings aliases possibly it’s conscionable because Manchester United and Everton are 2 of England’s grandest clubs that stock truthful galore merged memories that span matches, players and moments (the first things that travel to mind: Paul Rideout astatine Wembley, Wayne Rooney and Phil Neville, Alejandro Garnacho’s bicycle kick, Steven Pienaar’s equaliser successful nan 4-4 tie that proved to beryllium a decisive infinitesimal successful nan 2012 title race). Do get successful touch pinch your favourite moments from this fixture, aliases successful general: michael.butler@theguardian.com.
Yes, this is simply a fixture rooted successful nan past but some clubs are entering caller eras. Following complete a decade of banter years, United are opening to look into thing approaching respectability. Of course, by nan standards of Busby and Ferguson, they are still lightyears distant from what mightiness beryllium deemed acceptable but location are greenish shoots nether Ruben Amorim. United could perchance spell 4th pinch a triumph here, could they unit their measurement into nan reckoning for nan apical 4 travel nan extremity of nan season? That would beryllium a sizeable achievement.
New stadium and an aged manager, Everton are different squad successful flux. Nobody is rather judge really acold this squad tin spell nether David Moyes, anyplace and everything from a relegation conflict to European qualification remains a possibility. That’s rather an breathtaking and enticing point for Everton fans. It would beryllium a astonishment but not a daze for them to time off Manchester pinch each 3 points today, moreover if a triumph coming would correspond conscionable a 2nd triumph astatine United successful 32 years. In 17 attempts Moyes has ne'er won astatine Old Trafford and was successful nan location dugout erstwhile Everton past won present successful 2013.
It’s each group up to beryllium a cracker.
Kick-off: 8pm GMT.
