Man United welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford on Sunday and there will be several key battlegrounds which will likely determine the result of the Premier League contest
You won't find many bigger fixtures on the football calendar than Manchester United vs Manchester City.
City have claimed four of the past five derbies and Sunday afternoon's titanic clash promises to be an enthralling encounter between Pep Guardiola's possession-based side and a United outfit likely to adopt a more counter-attacking approach. Here, MEN Sport takes a look at where the derby might be won and lost.
The midfield battle City possess arguably the league's best midfield player in Rodri and when he plays, the Blues usually perform. With a talented supporting cast, Guardiola will hope to seize control of the midfield - particularly given the question marks facing United in that position. City's star strikers and United's uncertain defence On the face of it, you would back Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez to have a field day against a United backline shorn of its main lieutenant in Lisandro Martinez. The City pair have plundered 18 goals already this term, only two short of United's entire season tally.
