Manchester United can strengthen their grip on the Premier League title this afternoon.

United know a win at home to Everton would see them go 12 points clear at the top with only 12 games to play after a calamitous performance from Manchester City last night.

Alex Ferguson has winger Ashley Young available again, while Michael Carrick and Phil Jones have overcome knocks.

However the Toffees will be missing Ireland right back Seamus Coleman and Tony Hibbert.

Kick off at Old Trafford is at 4pm. The game will be live on Newstalk Sport with commentary from Dave McIntrye and Kenny Cunningham.

But first up at 1.30pm, Aston Villa host West Ham and Villa can move out of the relegation zone with a win.

The Hammers will be missing Modibo Maiga who was in Mali's team that finished third in the African Nations Cup yesterday while Paul Lambert's Villa could be without Ashley Westwood.

Our commentary team is Ken Early and former Ireland centre-back Gary Breen who played for West Ham in 2002-03.
