Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take a young squad across town this evening as the Reserves resume league duties at Manchester City.

United's 15-man squad boasts just nine first-team appearances (and only one start), with Zoran Tosic, Ritchie De Laet and Joshua King the only members to have tasted senior football at Old Trafford. The Reds currently top the Barclays Premier Reserve League North (ahead of Liverpool on goal difference), while City lie just three points behind.

Solskjaer and assistant Warren Joyce have been prevented from calling on more experienced figures for tonight's derby due to the first-team's simultaneous involvement in Champions League action. But it means a number of youngsters now have a chance to shine in what is traditionally one of the toughest fixtures on the Reserves' calendar.

United's last outing ended in Lancashire Senior Cup heartbreak as Solskjaer's men crashed out of the competition on penalties at the hands of Liverpool.

Tonight's fixture will be played at the Manchester Regional Athletics Arena and kicks off at 7pm. MUTV will screen highlights on Wednesday 4 November at 17:30.

United squad: Zieler, De Laet, Dudgeon, Evans C, Gill, James, Stewart, Norwood, King, Eikrem, Tosic, Devlin, Wootton, Tunnicliffe, Ajose, Brandy

City squad: Nielsen, Trippier, Cunningham, Boyata, Mee, Tutte, Mak, Marshall, Poole, Nimely, McDermott, Johansen, Ibrahim, Moore, Guidetti

Lost 1-0 Nimely scored and Wootton sent off 3 minutes after coming on
 
Reserves: City 1 United 0

United's Reserves slipped to a second league defeat of the season as Manchester City edged the derby, thanks to a solitary goal at the Regional Athletics Arena.

City striker Alex Nimely struck the only goal of the game after 20 minutes, latching onto a long ball from Greg Cunnigham and clinically lobbing a finish over stranded United goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler.

United's cause was hindered by the dismissal of Scott Wootton just before the hour-mark, although Febian Brandy did come close to snatching a point for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, only to see his effort cleared off the line.

The hosts started brightly, with Nimely flashing a header just past Zieler's post before he struck the killer blow. United's German youth international had to react smartly to keep out Donal McDermott's low drive, although the Reds did gradually gain a foothold as the game wore on.

The incessant rain continued to add zip to the turf, but United struggled to fashion any clear openings until Brandy, introduced after Wootton was dismissed for a strong challenge on Marshall, had his low effort dramatically cleared by McDermott, with Blues goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen beaten.

City now join United in second place, allowing Liverpool to snatch top spot in the Barclays Premier Reserve League North.

United: Zieler; De Laet, Evans C, Gill, Dudgeon; Stewart, James, Norwood, Eikrem, Tosic; King.
Substitutes: Devlin, Wootton, Tunnicliffe, Ajose, Brandy.
