"They have a bunch of wussies in midfield so we dont need a big man in the middle. You may laugh, but I think Ossy does a decent job of protecting the back 4. He isnt afraid of getting stuck in despite only being 2 feet tall.


Osman is actually 5' 9" only an inch shorter than Cahill.

But who would win in a fight?

I was thinking about Fellaini or Rodwell to be honest.

Lawro predicts....

Everton v Manchester United

Everton's form of late, against the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea especially, has been very, very good. Going to Goodison Park is always a tricky game for United. An on-fire Wayne Rooney goes back to his former club and the last thing the Evertonians will want is for him to turn it on against them.

Verdict: 1-1

If we score early on, batter them for 90 minutes, then Wayne gets a spawny equaliser in the 5th minute of extra time when only 3 mins should have been added, we will feel robbed of 3pts, dejected and pissed off.

TEAM NEWS
Everton will check on the fitness of key midfielder Tim Cahill, who suffered a calf injury against Sporting Lisbon in midweek. Phillipe Senderos is doubtful with a back injury, while Marouane Fellaini will miss the rest of the season as he needs ankle surgery.

Manchester United will be without suspended duo Rio Ferdinand and Nani. Nemanja Vidic is back in the squad and could play for the first time in 2010 following a nerve problem in his leg.

Everton (from): ????

Doubtful: Cahill (calf), Senderos (back)
Injured: Anichebe (back), Fellaini (ankle), Hibbert (groin), Jagielka (knee)

Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, Neville, Brown, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Park, Anderson, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Rooney, Owen, Berbatov, Diouf.

Suspended: Ferdinand (one match), Nani (three matches)
Injured: Giggs (arm), Hargreaves (knee), O'Shea (thigh)

MATCH PREVIEW
The football world may be queuing up to laud Wayne Rooney's best ever season, but the Manchester United striker can expect an altogether different reception at Goodison Park on Saturday. It is almost six years since Rooney left Everton, but the scars left by his defection from Merseyside to Manchester are yet to heal. The 24-year-old's most recent return to Goodison ended in controversy when he responded to the barracking of home fans by kissing the badge on his United shirt, before being quickly substituted. The fiery encounter also saw United old boy Phil Neville enrage his former team-mates for a crunching tackle on Cristiano Ronaldo. Neville cites the challenge as the moment he finally won over sceptical Everton fans.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping the hype surrounding Rooney's return does not prove a distraction as his side seek to reclaim top spot. United have only suffered one league defeat against Everton in 15 years, but will have to work for their points against David Moyes' in-form side, who did them a favour last time out by beating Chelsea.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Everton have only won one of their last 29 Premier League meetings with United (a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park back in April 2005).
• The Toffees have lost 27 out of 35 Premier League encounters against Sir Alex Ferguson's side and won only three.
• United have only failed to score in two of their 17 Premier League visits to Goodison, and those are the only matches the Toffees have won, both 1-0.

Everton
• Everton are unbeaten in their last six league home matches, winning the last four.
• They have lost only one of their last 11 league outings (a 1-0 defeat at Liverpool).
• Their next goal will be their 500th in the Premier League at Goodison Park. They are also targeting their 150th Premier League win at Goodison.

Man Utd
• United have not dropped any points from winning positions this season.
• They are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches, their longest run of the season.
• They are the league's top scorers with 62, second-only to their own Premier League record of 64 goals after 26 matches set in 2001/02.
• If selected, Wayne Rooney will be making his 250th Premier League appearance.

Everton have not been awarded a league penalty against United for nearly 20 years – the last being in September 1989 when Kevin Sheedy missed at Goodison.

You have to go back to August 1972 to find Everton’s last successful league spot-kick against United, converted by Joe Royle at Goodison.

This is Everton’s 4,999th first-team fixture – number 5,000 is against Sporting Lisbon next week.
