The all-time goal tally in the 169 previous derbies stands at 249-234 to United with City winning 49 times to their rivals’ 70. If Manuel Pellegrini can earn a 50th victory for City their lead over United will stretch to five points and a significant psychological blow will have been dealt. But with David Silva and Sergio Agüero out and Louis van Gaal’s side playing at home, United are surely favourites despite the manager’s protestations to the contrary. Jamie Jackson
