Neville can't split Everton and Man Utd

Phil Neville can't split Manchester United and Everton ahead of this weekend's game.

Neville served both clubs with distinction.

"I'm really looking forward to the game," Neville told manutd.com. "I'm actually going to go to it because it's two of my former clubs. Everton have come back into a little bit of form while United are probably the form team in the Premier League at the moment so it should be a really open game as it's two coaches with a real focus on a tactical battle.

"I can see it being an entertaining game. Everton play expansive football and United will obviously go for goals like United always do. It'll be a real shoot-out. Everton have got players coming back from injury - Romelu Lukaku was on the bench the other day so he'll be back.

"Ross Barkley, Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas are players that can hurt Manchester United but what United have to do is focus on the way they've been playing. The performances against Chelsea, Villa, Spurs and at Anfield were fantastic. If they can reach that level of performance again, it'll be very difficult for Everton to get a result."
