"I watched the first 10 minutes, Everton couldn't get out of their half," Clough said. "We will try and not make any mistakes and try to get out of our half. They just penned them in.

"I don't think you can make plans for specific players, when you look at the squad they can use all internationals, we've got to be at our very best to match them."

As well as United, there are five other top-flight sides in action on Wednesday, including one all-Premier League tie as Manchester City visit West Brom (kick-off 8pm).

Pep Guardiola's team have scored 15 and conceded none in their last three fixtures in all competitions, while the Baggies have cooled after a hot start, failing to win in their last three.

Everton will be looking to bounce back at home to struggling Sunderland after a disastrous run of recent results.

Ronald Koeman's side have not won for more than a month, in the process failing to score a single goal while conceding 12.

"It does not look too good at the moment but I know we are more than good enough to turn this around," Gylfi Sigurdsson told the club's website.

"And I think with the staff and the players we have, and the will within the team, eventually we will turn this around."

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest travel to Chelsea hoping to spring a surprise, while League One side Doncaster head to the Emirates to face Arsenal.
