Everton's manager Roberto Martinez has been outspoken leading up to this matchup, professing his side's lack of awe or fear of the storied Manchester United franchise. Martinez shouldn't fear them either; Everton is three spots ahead of Man U in the Premier League table.
'If we want to do something special this season we need to break that mentality of going to the big grounds and not being able to get good wins,'' Martinez said. ''If you look at the last 10 years we have never beaten Manchester United or Arsenal or Chelsea or Liverpool at their own grounds and that for us is something we need to address.
"We need to make sure we are ourselves, we need to know exactly how we are going to play and who we are. It doesn't matter who you are playing against or where you are playing you need to be able to perform with great standards and that is a fantastic test and challenge to have on Wednesday."
While Everton's proclaiming no worries, Man U's leader David Moyes has some injury concerns to deal with. Marouane Fellaini is expected to take the pitch to replace injured Robin van Persie. Fellaini has struggled since joining Man U, but Moyes still has faith he will come around.
'It is the same settling-in process that most Manchester United players go through," Moyes said. "I don't think it is just Marouane or David Moyes. It is players joining this club. Obviously there will be players who hit the ground running and can go right in but there will be others who take a little bit of time.
'There have been quite a few of those here.''
