Midfield:
Micheal Carrick and Marounne Fellaini should play as the double pivot, meaning Fletcher won’t get a chance to show his nonchalance at Goodison Park. With a number of subplots, the midfield battle will eventually decide the outcome of the clash. Shinji Kagawa, who will start out wide but will gradually drift to more central areas to lay balls to the strikers up front. While Mata and Kagawa have rarely started together this season, the Spanish-Japanese pair’s link up is certainly a treat to the eyes. To add more width to the game-play, Valencia should start in the right. Juan Mata will play in his favorite no 10 position. United however need to make sure wither of creative men don’t get overloaded by Everton’s abundance of quality in midfield.
