From Ebrahim on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A63576075)"Lovely touch in the tunnel before the game, the Neville brothers did not look at each other, let alone share a word."1252: For those of you hammering me for including Andres Iniesta in my top five at 1215 GMT, don’t forget what Wayne Rooney said at he sat in the United dressing room after the Champions League final in May: “We’ve just lost to a team run by the best player in the world.” He was talking about Iniesta, who wasn’t even near full fitness for the game.1250: Nice. Leon Osman runs at the heart of the United defence, slaloming his way past a couple of challenges, but by the time he gets into the box he is off balance and drags a right-foot shot weakly wide.BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Everton will provide a real test for Manchester United, having beaten leaders Chelsea in their last Premier League game. Sir Alex Ferguson always travels to Goodison Park with confidence, however, as history overwhelmingly favours the champions - although David Moyes’ side can call on the memories of last season’s FA Cup semi-final victory at Wembley."1246: You won’t believe this, but they’ve only gone and got under way at Goodison Park as Everton, led by Phil Neville, take on Manchester United, led by brother Gary.Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: "It’s an old ground, a great atmosphere and Everton are a terrific team - we’ve got our work cut out. But we’re here full of confidence, we couldn’t come here at a better time really."Everton boss David Moyes: "We don’t want to whinge about the injuries, we want to get on with it and take our opportunity. Against Man United we’ve got to be aware of every player but Wayne Rooney is in really good form. The goals are changing how everyone’s viewing him but he was a great player before that and it’s difficult to do anything we haven’t tried to do to stop him before."1240:****Everton v Man Utd:](http://www.paklinks.com/sport2/low/football/eng_prem/8518117.stm)The odds, as usual, are firmly with United. Everton have won only one of their last 29 Premier League meetings with United,a 1-0 win thanks to a Duncan Ferguson winner in April 2005.Everton are unbeaten in their last six at home in the league, but be warned - United have not dropped a single point from a winning position this season. Fair to say the hosts need to score first, then.1238: Everyone - but everyone - you speak to says the same thing. People nationwide are panicking every time he plays, every time he goes into a challenge.“If he gets injured before the World Cup…” they say,](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1250655/Keep-magic-man-Wayne-Rooney-fresh-World-Cup-Fabio-Capellos-plea-Manchester-United-boss-Sir-Alex-Ferguson.html)before breaking into a cold sweat and ordering another beer.1236: Wayne Rooney, the English centre-forward feared by the world. It has got a nice ring to it, you must admit. Today, however,Rooney must forget about the praise he has been lavished with in recent timesand prepare to enter the unforgiving bear pit of Goodison Park once more.Once a Blue, now forever a Red."My weekly 4-3 prediction goes to West Ham vs Hull this time, with West Ham emerging the victors. This has to work one day…"From Chris, via text to 81111: "Just pulling out of Cardiff station. Let’s have United top of the league by the time I get into Paddington, there’s a good boy, Stevo."1230: And so, for the first time ever anywhere in the world, I bring to you Polly Predos (though she is very selective, and two of the games are tomorrow, but let’s run with it anyway):
Everton 0-2 Man United
Arsenal 2-0 Sunderland
Wolves 1-2 Chelsea
Man City 1-2 Liverpool
Blackburn 1-1 Bolton
Lawro’s Premier League predictions1228: Got a real treat for you today. Instead of **Stevo’s Predos, **I’m donating the (usually wasted) space on this live text to someone who has a 100% record in the predictions department. A mate of mine was leaving work on Tuesday with a colleague, who claims to know absolutely nothing about football. Some of them were discussing what the score might be in theAC Milan-Man United game,and, out of nowhere, she piped up with 3-2 United. A legend was born…From Matt_Utd_FC on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A63576075)"Big statement of intent if Utd win this one, especially as Everton beat Chelsea last week. Utd a bit fortunate to be playing Everton without Fellaini and Cahill, but Utd’s back four always give teams a chance! Should be a cracking game!"1223: Hit me, and here’s how: texts to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (the world);****mix it up on 606;](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A63576075)andwhack us a tweet @Stevo_football.Aerospace engineering it ain’t.BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at Goodison Park: "Everton have John Heitinga back after he was ineligible for the Europa League. He comes in for Joseph Yobo while Diniyar Bilyaletdinov replaces injured Tim Cahill. Gary Neville is back for Man Utd, who pair Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov up front. Nemanja Vidic also returns, but only on the bench despite Rio Ferdinand’s suspension."1218: Everton v Manchester United line-ups: 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, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Rooney, Berbatov.
Subs: Foster, Owen, Vidic, Scholes, Rafael Da Silva, Obertan, Gibson.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)1215: There’s no point beating around the bush - Wayne Rooney is currently one of the top five footballers on earth (in order: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Wayne Rooney). There, that should get them talking…
