Everton travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday night.
David Moyes could make some bold changes to his Everton starting line-up, with Seamus Coleman mooted for a first start of the season.
Coleman has been impressing in training and Moyes did hint during his pre-match press conference that the veteran could come in.
“It’s great he’s getting the minutes. His training is terrific and his attitude is always impeccable. He’s certainly in my thoughts, that’s for sure,” the Scotsman said.
