Here we go. Manchester United host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, in the biggest match of the season thus far. United are hoping to make a dent in City’s eight point lead at the top of the table, while City will be hoping for anything other than a loss so that they can start crowning themselves champions-elect in December.

United will have to defeat their impressive rivals without the services of the suspended Paul Pogba. David Silva has SHOCKINGLY recovered in time for City, who are still missing John Stones. Both managers have kept their counsel with regards to formations and starting XIs, but Jose Mourinho is still up to his old tricks.
