I was in with the United fans last season, pretty sure you'll enjoy this match more than I did that one!

It would surprise me, he didn't change it for the Palaces and Norwiches of the league, it didn't change it for City, Spurs, Liverpool or Chelsea games, not sure why he would suddenly change it. He may, it just seems unlikely.
If you've got something that works, why change it when you need to be at your best?

I think, he has, just to a lesser extent.
The Carling Cup saw him make drastic changes didn't it? As i said to a lesser importance, but we have United and Arsenal away next, and there's nothing worse than having tired players going up against two of the best sides in the league. I'm not expecting dramatic changes like! But it wouldn't surprise me if Mirallas And/Or Barkley start on Weds. It is a tough one, because for me Mirallas had a great game against the RS, but then again Deulofeu had a belter impact when he came on against the RS, and tore Stoke a new one. I know Mirallas has been erratic, and I know he threw his toys out the pram when he got subbed off at Palace, maybe that's cause he was ****, but we know he struggles to complete 90 mins usually, so i think he may have been saving him for United....
But only martinez knows what he's gonna do. All i can say is it's really refreshing to have this difficulty in choosing a starting XI

He did, sorry I was referring to the league games. He won't suddenly switch formation against United surely though?
I think those changes you mentioned though are almost guaranteed, my response was to not knowing what system will be played and thinking Martinez will change our shape to counter United, just can't see after 13 good games, him suddenly changing it... Could be wrong, just can't see it.
I would guess we are looking at Howard, Oviedo, Distin, Jags, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Barkley, Mirallas, Lukaku. No surprises in it.
Anything other than that would be probably be a surprise, unless like you said Deulofue comes in, I think that is the only likely change, can see Osman making the starting 11 at a push.
Cannot see Martinez changing our setup, and to be honest, Everton>Manchester United at current, so why should we? they should change their shape to stop us rather than the other way around or face a team that scored 7 in 2 games.
edit: Just realized we have both scored 7 in our last two games... this could be busy
... 0-0

Yeah, sorry, I was picking holes at you there, was merely just speculating at why I reckon he made the changes at the weekend.
I'd probably start Mirallas over Deulofeu, purely because, the Kid is Dynamite, and as good as it'd be to start him, I couldn't think of anything better than bringing him on with 30mins to go against a tiring defence and running them into the ground... that sounds amazing.
I hope he recalls Barkley, i assume he was just resting him!

If all of the above are out then i will be extremely confident we can come away with something.
From what i saw yesterday they have no midfield... Jones CM ? not for me or the Mancs i know.
It's all down to mindset and in previous seasons we've seem to have no belief and players that aren't really good enough. I look at the team now and there's quality in every position. In particularly it's the likes of Barkley, deulofeu and Lukaku who will have no fear and that's the cutting edge we've missed. I'm hopeful.
I reckon if we can sneak a goal and take the lead then we will be even more dangerous when Utd try to insert pressure. At last we look like a team that can counter at pace. Its going to be an interesting game and I think Martinez will outdo Moyes (hit the box) in the tactical department
I am confident we will win.
A point will be beter than losing.
Just so long as we give it a go instead of laying down and letting them walk all over us the way we usually do over there.
(the Jelavic game excepted as even Moyes couldn't not go for it the week after the Wembley shambles
)

Jones is suspended. United's last six games at home reads:
1-0 Arsenal
3-2 Stoke
1-1 Southampton
1-2 West Brom
2-0 Palace
0-0 Chelsea
I think we'll go out and attack them and we have a very good chance of winning. Rooney can't carry them every game.
