Manchester United vs Manchester City, 5.30 Old Trafford
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Cavani had trained since the Leipzig match but cast doubt on his participation in the first derby since March.
Anthony Martial is back for United after he also missed the defeat in Leipzig and Fred has been recalled following his European suspension.
“Anthony will definitely be involved,” Solskjaer said. “Edinson has been on the grass but I’ll make a decision later.”
United were ejected from the Champions League in a 3-2 defeat at RB Leipzig on Tuesday and if they lose to City it will be the first time they have lost four home league games before Christmas since 1972. Yet if United win they will have recorded five successive league wins for the first time since January 2019.
With City already lagging behind in the title race thanks to a sluggish start and a dismal defeat at the hands of Tottenham, it’s crucial that they capitalise on the form of a rival team who have been leaking goals of late.
Aguero returned from injury mid-week to come off the bench to score, but Pep has said its unlikely he will start against United.
Prediction: Man City win BTTS @9/4
