Manchester United are losing sight of their local rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. When the Reds travel to the Etihad on Sunday to face Pep Guardiola’s Blues, even a win would do little to breathe life into United’s short-lived title challenge. The 14 point gap between the teams may be effectively insurmountable, but pride demands that United not fall any further behind City, and at least avoid defeat in the latest edition of the Manchester derby.

In midfield, Paul Pogba and Juan Mata remain out with injury, and Donny van der Beek’s fitness is a question mark as well. Up front, Edinson Cavani returned to the side in midweek, but was not pictured with the traveling squad on Saturday. If the Uruguayan is unavailable, Dan James or Anthony Martial may deputize. Dean Henderson is set for the biggest club match of his career as he continues to fill in for David De Gea, who has left to be with his partner in Spain for the birth of their first child.
