Manchester United host neighbours Manchester City for a huge lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.
Both expected to be title contenders as the Premier League season began, it is Pep Guardiola’s men currently ahead in the table and a win at Old Trafford will put them back within reach of leaders Chelsea.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meanwhile, has faced questions over his future while struggling to come up with a solution to his defensive issues. Raphael Varane’s absence from this derby may reopen that can of worms.
A win for the Red Devils would put them level on points with fourth-placed West Ham, who host Liverpool on Sunday.
Along with Varane, Paul Pogba is suspended for United. City are missing Ferran Torres and sweating over Kyle Walker’s availability ahead of their short hop across Manchester.
