Live on BT Sport 1 from 1945 and MUFC from 1930.

Both teams will have aspirations to top the table at the end of the season and this could be a pivotal game.
United will probably have a youngish team out bearing in mind the Saturday lunchtime First XI game so few of the senior squad will be involved. City may well hold a few players out as cover for their banged up first team so should be a game between two evenly matched teams.

I try mate :)

Being a peaceful Blue on a red forum is a bit tough sometimes. I have to double and treble check everything sometimes so as not to be accused as being a WUM.

I suspect that our team from 1930 are all over-age for this fixture.

Nah you're great poster for me.Just that you might consider resizing the font a little bit.

Reckon who will be unavailable for City?Celina,Humphreys and one of the Garcias probably?

Extra motivation for the United players in this match for me since they can takeover the top of the table with a win.There's no greater feeling than doing that by defeating your rival.

Am not too much an insider but I can see Angelino , Humphreys, Aleix Garcia, Celina, Iheanacho and maybe Brandon Barker being held out. The injuries in the first team are awful at the moment and we will need cover for the Tottenham game.
There are a lot of very good 17/18 year olds around to keep the game competitive and a few older lads who won't likely make it with City but are still tidy players such as Glendon and Bytiqui who will do OK.

We're looking strong at the moment, with a number of these players clearly benefiting from glimpses of first team action, plus the boost of the likes of Memphis dropping into the fray here and there. Last time I heard City weren't doing quite so well, and had a few out injured? Although I suppose so do we now with Januzaj and Varela out. Still, we've put in some great wins against them recently and I fancy us to continue that trend.

Should be a good one. But I expect some United First teamers to play like Memphis, Jones et. al. So United should win this.

Feck, going to miss this because of class. Hope there is at least some good highlights videos, finding the full match is probably asking too much.

Ah skip it, education is overrated, hasn't Hurry Redknapp taught you anything?
