    The recent games at OT vs them make me sick. Can't call them Derbies more like Training ground sessions for City.

    We better fecking turn up this time.
     
    Hoping Maguire, Wan-Bissaka and James manage to shrug off their injuries & are available for this game.

    Starting XI

    De Gea

    Wan-Bissaka
    Bailly
    Maguire
    Shaw

    Fred
    Matic

    James
    Fernandes
    Martial

    Ighalo

    subs:
    Romero
    Dalot
    Lindelof
    McTominay
    Lingard
    Mata
    Greenwood

    Score Prediction:
    Manchester United 2-2 Manchester City
     
    Our record at home to City must be pretty poor in recent times.

    Not only do we get played off the park but the attitude and desire has been annoyingly scarce.

    Lost 4 of our last 6 at gome, winning in the EFL cup when they rested a decent amount with Mourinho playing a strong side for us (ibra and pogba), and drawing once.
    On the flip side, away to City we've also won 4 of the last 6, drawing once and losing once.

    Weird as feck. Unfortunately dont expect a change as Rashford is usually our star in these but hes out.
     
    I think

    DDG

    AWB
    Lindelof
    Maguire
    Shaw
    Williams

    Matic
    Fred
    Fernandes

    Martial
    Ighalo
     
    If I was a manager, I would quickly lose the will to live with these dumb press conferences. The Guardiola one is just cringeworthy. Why do they ask such stupid questions??
     
    I live in Oz so often miss games and wake up to find out the result - anyway, had a dream last night where we won 4-3, City took the lead, Maguire equalised, City went 2-1 up, Martial scored twice, City equalised before Ighalo forced in a header in the 89th minute - it was bloody brilliant... was really disappointed when I realised it'd just been a dream.

    The last dream I had about United was during the LVG era when we were in that rough Dec-January period. I confronted him and asked what the feck was he doing? My actions and words were so vivid but I can't remember if he responded, in the dream at least.
     
    Sounds crazy but my mate is absolutely convinced that Pogba will make the bench on Sun. Personally I think there is no chance as he hasn't returned to training yet
     
    They’d be lucky to win this.
     
    Guardiola said he never wanted Bruno. Maybe a Bruno masterclass is in order now.
     
    If we are extra physical and really get after them then I think we’ll win this game! City don’t really have anything to play for in the league now so not sure they’d fancy a real scrap! 2-0 United!
     
    Would go with Diamond in MF and Martial,Ighalo combo at top, considering back 4 remains same.

    I agree with this, think we have a chance of dominating city for first time ever with this midfield
     
    I hope Ole has learned a lesson from that 1st half in the cup where we were destroyed tactically.
     
    For me, the Manchester Derby is always better than the North-West Derby. They rarely fail to disappoint. If we don't do anything stupid in the first 30 mins, I'm confident we'll knobble them tomorrow.
     
    Hate the Manchester derbies, especially since the arab money. We always get rolled over at OT. Can't see us getting any points unfortunately, these lot are riding high after their CL win and league cup win.
     
    I’ve gone with 3 centre backs for this one
    DDG
    AWB
    Maguire
    Lindelof
    Shaw
    Williams
    Matic
    Fred
    Bruno
    Greenwood
    Martial

    We had a piss poor team out that day, as long as bar Rashford and Pogba we're all full strength we should be able to put up a better account of ourselves tomorrow
     
    I’m looking forward to this one. We will have Bruno and McTominay back for this one which should make a big difference to our ability to compete with them.
     
    Think it’ll be...

    DDG
    Lindelöf Maguire Shaw
    AWB McTominay Fred Williams
    Bruno
    Ighalo Martial​
     
    Think we’ll go 5 atb...

    —Bailly—Lindelof—Maguire—

    I watched Pep's pre match conference and He seems to respect United. And the first questions were about Ole and United, it sounded weird to my ears.
     
    I quite fancy we'll do them at OT. It is long overdue and I think fortune is favouring us more, ( just ).

    Whether KdB plays or not, with Big Mac and Bruno firing and Matic using his intelligence and strength then we have ample ability to control the centre of the park.

    With Ighalo loving life and scoring and Martial always seeming to " step up " to these matches we just need speed and plenty of runs out wide and back inside, across the defenders, we will outplay them tomorrow.
     
    I think we're gonna do them, you know! I've got an unusually positive feeling about this one. I think Ole crowds the midfield and strangles the game out of them.

    SUBS - James (Ighalo), Mata (Fernandes), Pereira (Martial)

    Man United 2 - 1 Man City
    Ighalo, Martial.
     
    Really hope our ‘injuries’ to James, Maguire and AWB are mind games by Ole.

    I would also feel very confident playing City with a fully fit squad including Rashford and Pogba, such a shame they are out.
     
    Really miss Rashford, it does seem to me like the lad always scores against these scumbags.
     
    I’m not confident of a win, they played us off the park last game in the cup. Be interesting to see how much difference Bruno can make in this one. I’m hoping he goes 4 man midfield rather than the 5 at the back.
    Matic Fred McT and Bruno midfield to cut out cities tippy -tappy play.
    Tony will def play, its just who else is up front, I’d go ighalo but as he played a full game Thursday i think it will be James or greenwood.
     
    I’m confident. I really wasn’t for the cup meeting, but with McT back, Bruno providing that well needed spark and some decent form behind us, I can see us turning them over.
     
    De Gea
