Despite not having the best record against Everton since his acrimonious departure from the Merseyside club in 2004, this fixture is one that Wayne Rooney is always highly motivated for.
Rooney scored on two of his first three returns to Goodison as a Manchester United player but is yet to score in five seasons since, during which time United have picked up just five points.
He arrives in arguably his best ever form having scored 14 goals in all competitions and with his side desperate to avenge last weekend’s 6-1 drubbing by Man City.
As such, odds of 11/10 for Rooney to score anytime are an excellent option but those looking for extra value should back him to score last at 4/1 for the fourth time this season or to score three goals or more for a remarkable third time in six starts at odds of 25/1 with bwin.

With Sir Alex Ferguson set to make several changes from the side embarrassed by City, Javier Hernandez should start and is a good bet at 5/1 to score the first goal as opening strikes accounted for 50% of his tally last season.
The last player to bag a treble at Goodison was Rooney’s former strike partner, Louis Saha, and having opened his account against Fulham last weekend he looks a decent option at 9/4 to score anytime against another of his former clubs.
The last two fixtures between these sides at Goodison have yielded ten goals, so it would be worthwhile for punters to bet on multiple goalscorers.
With Sir Alex Ferguson set to make several changes from the side embarrassed by City, Javier Hernandez should start and is a good bet at 5/1 to score the first goal as opening strikes accounted for 50% of his tally last season.
Tom Cleverley could also return having starred in the midweek Carling Cup win over Aldershot and given his form at the start of the season, odds of 13/4 for him to score anytime are worth considering.
Another new talent to emerge this season is Everton’s Apostolos Vellios and in light of United’s vulnerability to late goals is a strong contender, at 10/1, to come off the bench and score the last goal of the game.
