Beyond this encounter is the 162nd Manchester derby on
30 April, and Sir Alex Ferguson will tell his men that if they beat
Everton then a 20th
championship could be clinched at the Etihad Stadium whatever
Manchester City do later on Sunday afternoon at Wolverhampton
Wanderers. This is the dream scenario – one David Moyes hopes he
can prevent, though being able to pick his men up after the despair
of being knocked out of the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley by
Liverpool may prove too tough a task even for his man-management
skills.
