Manchester United travel to Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime looking to get last weekend's derby mauling well and truly out of their system.
The devastating defeat by their near neighbours City has left them five points off of the pace within the Premier League and left everyone wondering the way they will respond to the type of beating they've usually dished out to others over the years.
If Sir Alex Ferguson might have chosen a game to recovery inside it is not likely to have been a quick jaunt over the M62 to Goodison, a ground where they have not won since 2007.
Indeed, their previous two league encounters on the blue half of Merseyside have experienced Everton score six goals - including two in injury-time last season to snatch an unlikely reason for a 3-3 draw. Everton vs Man Utd Live From Justin TV, Veetle, uusee etc
The Toffees want to respond themselves after an agonising defeat in extra-time to Chelsea in the Carling Cup in midweek, though they did pick up three points at Fulham last Sunday.
That last-gasp victory at Craven Cottage was welcome respite in the middle of a run of games that featured Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea twice - all resulting in defeats.
With high-flying Newcastle lying in wait next weekend, manager David Moyes yet again faces a difficult task if he's to stop the club from making yet another slow begin to the league that could ultimately curtail their European ambitions.
Everton captain Phil Neville was forced off at half-time during the Chelsea Carling Cup clash on Wednesday and is also a doubt to face his old club. Another former Red Devil Louis Saha is expected to keep his place after scoring twice as part of his latter games.
Australian Tim Cahill lasted the total 2 hours against the Blues but acquired a knock in extra-time so is also a doubt. Royston Drenthe though is unquestionably out after he was sent off for 2 yellow cards because game.
United made 11 changes for 3-0 Carling Cup victory over Aldershot in midweek but not many are anticipated to start at Goodison - despite last week's Old Trafford nightmare.
Winger Ashley Young can be a slight doubt using a toe injury but is anticipated to recuperate in time.
Jonny Evans is definitely out through suspension but Wayne Rooney is fit to face his old side.
