Great win today! We've now beaten Chelsea and Arsenal back-to-back which is great. Hopefully when we get players back from injuries we'll be a lot stronger in defense.

Good match today. Draw was a fair result, but Van Persie could've snatched a winner. The return leg at Old Trafford will be a great match. With the fans behind us I expect us to play 4-4-2.

David Moyes set to be new Manchester United manager

Everton boss David Moyes is set to be appointed as the new Manchester United manager, following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

An announcement could be made on Thursday.

Ferguson, 71, revealed his decision to step down after nearly 27 years at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Fellow Scot Moyes, 50, who has been in charge at Goodison Park since 2002, held talks with Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright on Wednesday evening.

Wigan's Roberto Martinez and Michael Laudrup of Swansea are thought to top Everton's list of potential replacements.

Moyes is expected to tell players and staff of his decision to join United at a training ground meeting on Thursday morning.

He could still lead Everton out at Goodison Park against West Ham on Sunday for what would be his final home game in charge.
