The Manchester derby will be the key highlight in the Premier League this weekend; Manchester United host Manchester City as the league enters Round 11. Fifth placed Manchester United have 17 points going into the game and City are on 25 pints in third place. United are coming from yet another tough outing at Atalanta in the Champions League, and once again it was Cristiano Ronaldo the savior as his stoppage time goal saw them draw 2-2 in Bergamo. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches and while they have scored two or more in four of the last five matches, they’ve also conceded two or more in four of the last five. Ronaldo has been crucial for them, with four goals in the last five matches. The last time they played at home, United badly missed Raphael Varane as they ran out 5-0 losers to Liverpool. They go back home without the Frenchman who was injured in Atalanta and they may be forced to switch back to a back four, which hasn’t really worked well. Another Frenchman, Paul Pogba will also be out of this game as he serves the second of a three-match suspension. Each of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals, and in the league at home, they are winless in the last three, while none of the last five have produced a clean sheet. In the last six matches against City, Manchester United have managed three wins, two losses and a draw.

Manchester City are back to winning ways after two disappointing outings and they’ll hope to extend this against arch rivals Manchester United. They are coming from a 4-1 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League, the third match in five that they’ve scored four or more goals. The loss to Crystal Palace at home in their last game saw City drop to five points behind league leaders Chelsea, and they go to this game with just one clean sheet in five matches. They’ve failed to score in two of the five. In the Premier League, away from home, City have no losses in the last four and have seven wins in 10. The key absentee for this game will be Ferran Torres but City have great depth and a variety of scorers has seen eight different names on the score sheets in the last five matches.
