Manchester United face a short trip to rivals Manchester City for a crunch derby at the Etihad on Sunday
Manchester United are hoping to take the wind out of Manchester City's sails, by frustrating their rivals at the Etihad on Sunday.
It wasn’t too long ago that United and City were neck-and-neck for the championship, but Sunday’s hosts have kicked on with a remarkable run, winning 15 Premier League fixtures on the bounce to go 14 points clear at the top.
Pep Guardiola’s men are now champions in all but name, but United still have a top-four spot to secure between now and May, while local bragging rights are also on the line.
It means Sunday’s clash will likely be far more dramatic than the woeful 0-0 draw these sides produced when they last met in the league in December.
There were just four shots on target recorded during that game at Old Trafford, from two teams that have scored on average two goals per outing this term. They also clashed in the League Cup in January, where City edged an equally turgid game 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Man City v Man Utd team news
Man City: Nathan Ake remains the only absentee for Guardiola and the defender could even get a run-out here, although he is unlikely to be risked.
The boss must decide how to set out his forward line. Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling are likely to keep their places, but Riyad Mahrez may drop to the bench in favour of Phil Foden.
Man Utd: Dean Henderson may start in goal once again in place of David De Gea, while Edinson Cavani should keep his spot up front.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is without Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Phil Jones. There is hope Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek will have recovered from injuries in time to feature.

Our prediction: Man City v Man Utd
City have run away with the league this season and that is partly down to a squad depth that has eased the impact of injuries to star players.
United don’t quite have that comfort, as has been evident, with recent results against Crystal Palace and Sheffield United exposing the fatigue in the squad.
Solskjaer will instruct his side to keep things tight on Sunday and aim to hit City on the break through the likes of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood. But City are on cruise control right now and should edge this game.
Our prediction: Man City 2-1 Man Utd (15/2 at bet365)
