Everton v. United

Submitted by BillyIdle on Fri, 11/20/2009 at 1:23pm.

  " Moyes takes his side to Old Trafford - where Everton have not won since the inaugural Premier League campaign in 1992. 

 Winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov is still suspended.  Midfielder Tim Cahill is also a doubt after returning from international duty with Australia with a minor groin problem.

  Moyes believes United are weaker this season without Cristiano Ronaldo - sold to Real Madrid in the summer for a world record £80million - but still expects a tough test.  "Undoubtedly losing Ronaldo has affected them," added the Toffees' boss.  "He gave them the little bit of magic.  In games when it was tight he conjured up something.  It is difficult to replace those goals."

"There are other players who have stepped into those positions, but I think any football club who has lost Ronaldo would be losing a talented player which would affect the side."
