Manchester City v Manchester United

[#BlackMind]

Victory for Manchester City will see them be crowned English top-flight champions for the fifth time, and third time in the Premier League.

Should the Citizens win the title here, they’ll have done so with more games to spare than any side in English top-flight history.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola could become the third manager to win the title in England and at least two of the other big five European leagues, after Carlo Ancelotti (3) and Jose Mourinho (2).

Manchester City have done the double three times over Manchester United in the Premier League, only Liverpool have done so more often in the competition (4).

Man City are unbeaten in their last 27 home league games (W22 D5), winning the last 14 in a row. Only twice has a team ever had a longer winning run at home in the Premier League (Man City 20 between March 2011 and March 2012, and Man Utd 19 between October 2010 and October 2011).

Manchester City will assess the fitness of striker Sergio Aguero (knee) who has been out for a month and has not featured since the 1-0 win over Chelsea in March.

Manchester United have a fully fit squad to choose from with Phil Jones (hamstring), Marcos Rojo and Ander Herrera all returning to training in the past week.

Goalkeeper Sergio Romero is the only absentee.

Would like to see Ander Herrera play a part for Manchester United today in the derby. Always gives his all for the club and turns up the ante in huge matches. Hasn’t played a lot this season, but still trusted by José Mourinho.

The treatment of Paul Pogba is on the verge of bullying. A player is free to do whatever the hell he likes off the pitch. Maybe people should focus on his brilliant charity work that he does, and not the colour of his hair.

"Playing against City at City, if they win they're champions, against Man Utd. I couldn’t let this happen" - @PaulPogba

Paul Pogba is the 1st player to score 2 goals in a game against Man City in any of their 50 fixtures in all competitions this season

Alexis Sanchez has two assists in a single Premier League game for just the second time in his career.

Manchester City defender Danilo Luiz refuses to accept Manchester United deserved their derby win:

"They just used the long balls, they scored three goals and that all happened today."
