All eyes will be on Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United host city rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Louis van Gaal’s side have lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions, and go into this game on the back of Wednesday evening’s 1-1 Champions League draw at CSKA Moscow.

Victory here would see them leapfrog City in the table, though they will have to rely on Arsenal dropping points against Everton if they are to have any hope of returning to first place.

Ashley Young is an injury doubt with a calf problem while Luke Shaw and Paddy McNair are definitely sidelined.

Wayne Rooney, who is the all-time leading scorer in this fixture with eleven goals is 8.0 (7/1) to net first here with a variety of firms with Anthony Martial favourite at 7.0 (6/1).

The home win is as highly priced at the 2.7 (17/10) on offer from William Hill with the visitors a 2.88 (15/8) chance with the same company. The draw is a 3.55 (28/11) shot with 888 Sport.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men have won their last four games on the bounce, with the latest of those victories coming against La Liga side Sevilla on Wednesday evening.

They have seven wins from nine in the league so far and another victory here will strengthen their hold on to first place as they look to wrestle the Premier League trophy back from champions Chelsea.

City have a number of injury concerns with top scorer Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and Fabian Delph all missing while Pellegrini must decide whether or not to recall captain Vincent Kompany who hasn’t started a club game for six weeks.

Wilfried Bony is widely available at 7.5 (13/2) to get the first goal of the game ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, who having scored five goals in nine matches so far can be backed at 9.0 (8/1).

Six of the previous ten clashes between these sides have seen at least four goals scored so you may be tempted to back that outcome here at 3.25 (9/4) with Bet Victor.
