Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has failed to bring in a new
keeper so 20-year-old rookie Kasper Schmeichel continues in goal.
Brazilian midfielder Elano is expected to shake off a knock so Eriksson
is likely to name an unchanged line-up.
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo starts a three-match ban for
his sending-off against Portsmouth.
He joins the injured Wayne Rooney (foot), Owen Hargreaves (knee),
Louis Saha (knee), Anderson (hamstring) and Gary Neville (calf)
on the sidelines.
Gabriel Heinze is fit but seems unlikely to be involved ahead of the
Premier League meeting on Monday that will determine whether he will
be allowed to join Liverpool. (= =)
Man City (from):
Schmeichel, Hart, Corluka, Onuoha, Richards, Dunne, Garrido, Ball,
Fernandes, Geovanni, Hamann, Johnson, Ireland, Petrov, Elano, Bianchi,
Bojinov, Corradi.
Man Utd (from):
Van der Sar, Kuszczak
Brown, Simpson, Bardsley, Pique, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra
O'Shea, Fletcher, Eagles, Scholes, Carrick, Nani
Giggs, Tevez
REFEREE Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)
BIG-MATCH FACTS
* The 148th competitive Manchester derby, 137th in the league and 21st in
the Premier League is the most eagerly anticipated in years.
* It throws up a tactical battle between the most recently appointed
Premier League manager in the Sven-Goran Eriksson and the longest
serving in Sir Alex Ferguson.
* City have made their best start ever to a Premier League season, and
United their worst since 1998. Indeed the Red Devils have not won a
league game since the last Manchester derby at Eastlands on 5 May.
* In beating West Ham (a) and Derby (h), City have a tremendous platform
to improve of their previous best of seven points from the first three
games of a Premier League campaign.
* Despite being held at home by Reading and away to Portsmouth, and being
four points behind Chelsea, there is no panic at Old Trafford. In 1998,
they famously went on from a poor start to clinch the Premiership, FA
Cup and Champions League treble.
* City are superior to United by four points and 10 places in the embryonic
Premier League table. They last went into a derby clash higher in the
table than their deadly rivals on 10 September 2005 at Old Trafford when
they were second and United fourth, and the spoils were shared in a 1-1
draw.
* City scored their first home goal since New Years Day on Wednesday, while
Paul Scholes' historic strike at Portsmouth was United's first from open
play in five Premier League matches since 28 April.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
* Paul SCHOLES has netted United's only Premier League goal so far. His
strike at Portsmouth gave him the record outright as Manchester United's
highest scorer of Premier League goals. He has netted 96, beating Ruud
van Nistelrooy's total of 95.
* Ryan GIGGS has scored 93 times in the Premier League.
* GIGGS is a double short of 100 career League goals.
If on the field from the outset:-
* Gary NEVILLE will be making his 350th Premier League start - all for the
Red Devils.
* John O'SHEA will be making his 200th start for Manchester United.
* Suspended:
- RONALDO (three matches)

continue.
United have won four times as many Manchester Premier League derbies as
City.
The Red Devils completed the double over their rivals last season.
