Man United will be hoping to avoid a result like this recurring

It's a game anticipated with both fear and excitement by the United faithful; the Manchester Derby has become increasingly important in a Premier League context over the years.

It pits José against Josep, Pogba against Aguero and one of the sturdiest defences against the league's meanest strike force. If it were not for United's recent dip in form, the league would be a clear two-horse race between the two Manchester outfits and this game will prove to be one of the most decisive across the whole season.

City are in the midst of a 22-match unbeaten run and have amassed 31 points from a possible 33 points in the league so far this term. The Citizens have won four out of their last six visits to Old Trafford having lost on just the one occasion and so Mourinho will have to be incredibly shrewd to overturn a scintillating City side.
