Manchester City v Manchester United (18:30, Sport1)
Manchester City have already defined this game as their "game of the season" and not just because it's a derby.
The loss to Tottenham two rounds ago hurt the champions, who seemed to be cruising for another easy title, but the fiery Liverpool narrowed the gap from them to just three points after beating West Ham today.
While City are thinking about the championship, United only want to screw up in the top 4 when they expect three very tough games against City, Tottenham and then against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final rematch.
Pep will have a full squad other than the injured Ruben Diaz, the big surprise is the expected absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports in Manchester, when Edinson Cavani has not yet recovered from an injury and will not be included in the squad.
The interesting statistic ahead of this derby is that the visiting team has won seven of the last nine meetings in all competitions, with Manchester United being the last to win 0-2 at home a year ago.
Manchester City have won 15 of their last 17 league games, but United have not lost in their last eight league games (the longest streak at the moment).
