Surely the biggest game in world football today, who will come out on top? Who will start for city and united? Team tactics? Will mourinho continue with Lingard who has been fantastic in the last 2 games? Will he recall Miky who has been so poor lately? Or will he play Zlatan behind Lukaku? One thing for sure, City will be looking to attack right from tbe start, is Mourinho likely to put 5 men in midfield? If Felliani is fit, will he start? One thing for certain, united will play Matic and herrera, should either be a cracking game or bore fest, will Mourinho bypass City midfield and look to pump high balls for the likes of lukaku and zlatan to feed off? Cant wait!

Have it down as a United win, 12/5s...Does Jose go back three/five or with a four? It would come as no surprise were he to start with Martial/Rashford and Lukaku up top. Lingard behind, with a midfield of Herrera and Matic. Even that would be a tad too adventurous, perhaps Lingard behind Lukaku, Matic, Herrera and whoever else in midfield, 3-5-1-1. Either way, expect an early lead for United and backs to the wall counterattacks thereafter.

Guardiola said he rather retire than park the bus, a clear dig at Mourinho to come out and play, Mourinho will not fall for the bait, dont think united have the players to stand toe to toe with city attacking style, united should just their own game

Guardiola is always trying to bait teams to come out and play. The only teams I expect will play us straight up this season are Totenham and Liverpool. Coz they both, like City, only know how to play one way.

Sadly UNited needs to win today. Or else this begins to look like the English Pep-mareship

With Chelsea and Arsenal shitting the bed today, United really need to bail them out. That said, I'm still backing my team

I can’t wait for this one ... waiting to see how united overcome the absence of Pogba ... will be a big loss today

Its seems Mourinho has gone for pace with the front runners to counter city wing backs, lets see how this pans out

Hopefully this one will be a good cracking game compare to the two earlier games.

Well i am being a bit cautious, if we come out to attack city, this might play into their hands, certainly an attacking line up aimed at making sure city wing backs dont leave their positions, certainly pace all round the park

A lot of players of African descent in this derby

Manu have to be smart in the counter,everyone need to be on point

Herrera brushed by a thigh and he dives and flies through the air like Superman

Lukaku read the pass ...what a ball by Rash

I am including all players of the African diaspora.

It will be easier to make a list of who is not connected to Africa.
