Man Utd v Man City team news
Man Utd: Edinson Cavani missed United’s defeat to Leipzig in midweek with a muscular problem, but is tipped to return for the weekend. Anthony Martial could also return to the XI.
Phil Jones remains out, while Solskjaer will have to decide whether or not to start Paul Pogba in the heart of midfield.
Man City: Eric Garcia is rated doubtful for this game, while Ilkay Gundogan has an ankle issue and so is 50/50 to be included.
Sergio Aguero scored off the bench in the 3-0 win over Marseille on Wednesday night and could start here, while Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne offer the boss plenty of options.
Our prediction: Man Utd v Man City
United have blown hot and cold all season but there’s no denying their domestic form right now is peaking. Wins against Everton, West Brom, Southampton and West Ham have seen the Red Devils surge up the table – largely thanks to the driving force of Bruno Fernandes in the heart of the action.
But can United face up to a City side that is only now starting to move through the gears? City have kept five clean sheets on the bounce in all competitions and the full return of Aguero is a major boost for the manager.
It’s hard to see how this United midfield copes with a near-full strength City side in full flight. Yes, the hosts should get on the scoresheet here but it will likely be the blue half of Manchester that is celebrating come Saturday evening.
Our prediction: Man Utd 1-2 Man City
