Team News: John Stones, Seamus Coleman return for Everton

Everton have been boosted by the return of John Stones and Seamus Coleman for their meeting against Manchester United this afternoon.

The defensive duo slot back into the back four following their recent spells on the sidelines, in what is close to the Toffees' full-strength XI.

Gareth Barry becomes just the second player to start 550 Premier League games, meanwhile, and there is also a place for Romelu Lukaku up top - one of the few players to have bagged a hat-trick against today's opponents.

Visitors United have made four changes from last time out, with previous ever-presents Daley Blind, Michael Carrick and Memphis Depay each making way, while Ashley Young also drops out.

Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Morgan Schneiderlin and Ander Herrera are the players to benefit from the shake-up on the back of the heavy defeat to Arsenal last time out, as Louis van Gaal aims to get his side's title tilt back on track.

Listen to what the Sports Mole team had to say about this afternoon's clash below.
