Marouane Fellaini starts against his former side Everton as Manchester United travel to Goodison Park this afternoon.

Louis van Gaal has made just one change to his team who lost to Chelsea last weekend, with Daley Blnd coming in for Radamel Falcao.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez makes two changes as the Toffees aim to continue their best run of form this season. Following last Saturday's defeat of Burnley, out go Kevin Mirallas and Arouna Kone from the starting XI, replaced by the the returning Leon Osman and Romelu Lukaku.

Before the match, Van Gaal claimed United will win the title within two years.

"I have a period of three years and I am sure I will win a championship or a title within the three years. Maybe we can do that next year," Van Gaal told reporters.

"The process hasn't worked quickly here because when I was with other teams I had already won titles by now.

"Normally, our philosophy shall win titles. But we have had to make big changes here, not just in the philosophy but in the accommodation and structure of the club."
