United, who were stunned 6-1 by their neighbours and league leaders last weekend for their first defeat at Old Trafford for 18 months, go to Goodison Park looking to put that behind them.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side did return to winning ways with an expected and straightforward 3-0 win at League Two Aldershot Town in the League Cup midweek but are still feeling the sting of their first defeat of the season.
"It's been a tough week for everyone, it was a bad result. We have to get over that, that's the name of the game... so we kick on," Ferguson told his regular Friday news conference.
"Hopefully we can recover from the disappointment of last week. It's something we've done over the years well, we'll have to do it again, nothing changes in football.
"The challenge is always there to be the very, very best which we hope we can do now."
"Ashley Young has got a toe injury. It's nothing serious... hopefully we have a strong enough squad for tomorrow," Ferguson said.
"Tom played his first game on Tuesday night... he had been training for about 10 days so he was in good physical condition for it," Ferguson said of the 22-year-old who signed a new four-year deal earlier this month.
"Given we've got a game tomorrow, an hour [against Aldershot] was just about right for him."
"Every time he makes a challenge he's going to be booed," he said.
"It's never is an easy game at Everton," Ferguson added.
