Round 1 EPL - Monday's Fixture - Pitch-360's Game of the Week



Manchester United v Everton FC - Old Trafford - *GAME OF THE WEEK*


 Manchester United - With Robin Van Persie jumping into the starting 11 along side Wayne Rooney, goals should be aplenty.  The two combined to score 57 goals last year which is almost half as many United tallied all of last year.  Ferguson will also look to the other major addition of the summer, Borussia Dortmund ace Shinji Kagawa, to have an instant impact.  However, the reoccurring problem of the health of the defense seems to have come up again.  Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Johnny Evans all have picked up knocks and are reported to miss the match as well as Darren Fletcher.  This coupled with the rumors of winger Nani possibly moving on before the transfer window closes could see him start on the bench along side youngster Nick Powell.  Even with these set backs, the depth of Fergie's side shows why they are favorites to claim yet another EPL title.


Squad - De Gea, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Rafael, Valencia, Young, Kagawa, Scholes, Rooney, Van Persie


 Everton FC - Everton will most likely start summer signing Steven Naismith (Rangers) as well as the returning Steven Pienaar.  David Moyes will be fueled by the 4-4 result of last season.  Moyes lead Everton to a seventh place finish last season and the Toffee's should be around there by the time this campaign ends.  With good goalkeeping from veteran shot stopper and US international Tim Howard, a few goals here or there could see them challenging the top 5.  Look for this match to be an exciting one but United to be too strong.
Squad - Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka, Hibbert, Pienaar, Gibson, Fellaini, Osman, Naismith, Jelavic


Player to Watch - Robin Van Persie (All eyes will be on the big money transfer man)

 Prediction - Manchester United

Manchester City - It has been a quiet summer for City.  Adding Jack Rodwell from Everton will add more depth to the already stacked midfield.  David Silva, last years standout player, will once again be poised to guide City to the title.  This should be a great match.

RVP

RVP looks set to sign with Manchester United.  After losing the race to sign Lucas Moura, all eyes are fixed on signing the Arsenal front man.   After more comments from Roberto Mancini as well as Wayne Rooney , the Dutchman is poised to make the move this weekend or early next week.  My sources also have informed me that Lucas Moura had agreed to a transfer fee only to be hijacked by big spending PSG.  Hopefully, as a United fan, RVP will be signed by the start of next week Would be a fantastic addition to United
