With the first week of English Premier League soccer comes the first major clash of the regular season. To kick off their 2012-2013 edition of the EPL, defending runner-up Manchester United will travel to face Everton FC.



Last season, Manchester United was forced to settle for second place after Manchester City's Sergio Aguero gave his team the title on goal difference with a header in the 94th minute against Queens Park Rangers. Following the massive disappointment, Sir Alex Ferguson upgraded his squad with the additions of Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa. 

For Everton, last season provided much of the same things their fans have seen in the past. The team performed well at times and was disappointing at others. It resulted in yet another finish inside the top 10 (they finished seventh for the second consecutive season) but a spot outside of the true contenders.
