Wayne Rooney has broken his scoring draught and will look to increase his tally against Everton this Sunday at Goodison Park. The English striker helped Manchester United to a 3-0 home victory over West Ham last weekend, with Nani and Berbetov scoring contributions of their own. United are currently in 3rd place with 2 wins and 1 draw (against Fulham).
The next two games will likely shape what kind of year this will be for Everton. The Toffees face Manchester United and Newcastle United at home and must take every opportunity after a poor start. Everton have just 1 point from the first three matches after a draw with Wolves and losses against Aston Villa and Blackburn.

David Moyes is off to a terrible start but a win here could have a serious impact on the players' confidence levels. They were able to take down the Red Devils earlier this year, so a win is not out of the question. However, United have an in-form Rooney who scored both in last week's Premiership match against West Ham and England's mid-week Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria. I see this being a physical match with big motivation from either side. Both teams scoring is not out of the question but I expect to see many goals.
Tip: Over +2.5 goals
