« on: November 01, 2014, 08:22:44 PM »


These two heavyweights will be looking to earn victory to get their season’s up and running after stuttering of late

Out: Jones (shin), Young (groin), McNair, Valencia (both hamstring), Evans (ankle), Lingard (knee).

Referee: Michael Oliver. Matches: 7, Y29 R0.

Manchester City
A 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday, coupled with injury to key playmaker David Silva, compounded Manuel Pellegrini’s woes and the Chilean boss knows that defeat against United will cast further doubt over his suitability for City’s title defence.

The blue half of Manchester have a fantastic recent record over their illustrious rivals, with the ‘noisy neighbours’ emerging victorious from five of the last six encounters.

Manchester United
Despite the draw last week, the 20-time top flight champions have made their worst start to a Premier League season, gaining just 13 points from their opening nine games. Last season under David Moyes, they had 14 points.

Defensive frailties have been the catalyst for such a slow start, with injuries blamed for a lack of continuity within the United rearguard.Despite being only nine games into the Premier League season, David De Gea is the only United player to have appeared in all nine matches so far this season.
