Man City v Man Utd

Tweet

TEAM NEWS

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has completed a three-game ban, but is unlikely to start given the form of Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.

Defender Micah Richards is available after missing the win at Wolves because of a knee problem.
Manchester United have reported no new injury concerns, so long-term absentees Nemanja Vidic, Darren Fletcher and Anderson are the only players missing.
Phil Jones or Chris Smalling could replace Rafael at right-back.

MATCH PREVIEW

"The most eagerly-awaited Manchester derby in years". That's how I started the preview for the October meeting of United and City at Old Trafford.
I somehow think that this one has gone up a couple of notches even from that. Even Sir Alex Ferguson has called it "a derby of amazing proportions… probably the most important in my time".
