United sit third in the league, level with the Blues and Reds on 13 points each and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be determined to sustain their early form.

Aston Villa have experienced a mixed bag of results this term, but a 3-0 victory over Everton last weekend suggests they're pulling themselves together.
Boss Dean Smith will take plenty of positives from a midweek draw against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday despite the encounter ending in a penalty shootout defeat.

Why is Man Utd v Aston Villa an early kick off?
United's clash has been moved to become a Saturday lunchtime kick off due to security concerns as The Courteeners are headlining a gig at the nearby Old Trafford cricket ground on Saturday evening.
According to ManUtd.com: "A request was made by Trafford Council's Safety Advisory Group to move United's clash.
"This was supported by Greater Manchester Police and TfGM to help avoid any logistical issues relating to the two crowds.
Why is Man Utd v Aston Villa not on TV?
Despite the move to 12:30pm, the game will not be shown live on TV as it wasn't initially selected by Sky Sports or BT Sport for broadcast.
Chelsea v Man City is being shown live on BT Sport 1 in their traditional TV slot with a 12:30pm kick off, and for that reason, another live game cannot be broadcast.
It means United fans must either attend the game or wait for highlights to soak up action from the game, much like Cristiano Ronaldo's debut display against Newcastle which was also overlooked for broadcast prior to his return to the club.

Our prediction: Man Utd v Aston Villa
United haven't been fully convincing in recent outings but one major positive is that Ronaldo's goal-scoring instincts remain fully in tact and he looks as deadly as ever.
Solskjaer's men look clinical in the Premier League, and that must be their priority in 2021/22 given the open nature of the title race.
Villa are growing into life without Jack Grealish but can expect a tough slog at Old Trafford this weekend.
Our prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Aston Villa (8/1 at bet365).
