Phil Jagielka and Wayne Rooney, the two captains, have just done the toss with referee Andre Mariner. Some revealing quotes from "Jags" on Rooney from earlier in the week: "I speak to him all the time and he's always keen to know how we have got on - he's still a big Evertonian. Obviously he has an affiliation with Manchester United, he has been there a long time, he's the captain now, so you understand that - but he still loves the club."
