MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea; Rafael, McNair, Rojo, Shaw; Blind; Valencia, Di Maria; Mata; Falcao, Van Persie... Subs: Lindegaard, Thorpe, Blackett, Fletcher, Fellaini, Januzaj, Wilson

CHANCE! Falcao breaks away from his marker from the resulting set-piece and catches Di Maria's corner with a sweet volley. It's well over though.

Di Maria's deep corner gives Howard a minor fright. The keeper, at full-stretch, tips the ball behind for another corner.

CHANCE! Lukaku bursts in behind McNair and unleashes a fierce shot with his left. Just over. Let off for the youngster.

Di Maria plays a quick one-two with Rafael from the corner, before flinging a cross into the back-post. Van Persie - caught in two minds - attempts a bizarre flick-shot which spirals into the crowd.

Jagielka times his lunging challenge to perfection on Van Persie and concedes a corner.

Marcos Rojo and McNair have started well. Lukaku hasn't really tested them though. It's too pretty from Everton at the moment.

CHAOS! The ball lands on Lukaku's head, but the Belgian striker is completely unaware. Rafael dives in to clear. Everton keep the pressure on before McNair finally ends a cagy spell with a brilliant header.

Lukaku pops up in the inside-left channel and fizzes a cross into the penalty area. Blind clears.

Stones shows great composure to delay his tackle on Falcao, then displays woeful composure as he skews the ball out of play.

YELLOW! Blind accidentally stamps on Naismith's toe. Bit of a harsh booking, that.

GREAT EFFORT! Di Maria lines up the free-kick. Surely not? The Argentine catches it sweetly, it flicks off Steven Naismith's head and Howard scrambles across to save.

Van Persie skips past one challenge before being upended by Barry. United free-kick about 35 yards from goal.

Everton, for all their possession, haven't had a meaningful touch in the opposition penalty area.

GOAL! United 1-0 Everton. Rafael's tempting delivery is cleared by Jagielka in unorthodox fashion. It falls to Mata, the Spaniard feeds Di Maria and the record signing rifles into the corner. United lead!

YELLOW! Pienaar tries a cheeky flick, bottles it, and hacks Rafael to the floor in frustration. That's a booking.

The resulting corner finds its way to Blind on the edge of the Everton box. Boom! That's in with the fans.

Di Maria works an opening on his left-foot and smashes an effort towards goal. It takes a couple of deflections and flies over the crossbar.

Roberto Martinez looks pretty relaxed in his dugout, but he'll be fully aware that his Everton side need to start picking up serious points sooner rather than later.
