Jesus over Aguero for the Derby Ric? You're a brave man.
Think Jesus will play tonight and Aguero Sunday personally.
Reckon they'll start Zlatan too. Maybe for Lingard.

A young Utd fan by the name of Sam Berkley 14 died tragically in Hyde..there having a minutes applause in the 7th minute..all city/utd fans join together for this boy.
Yeah, I'm torn really. Would be happy for either Aguero or Jesus to start, tbh. I guess we'll find out who's starting on Sunday when the teams are announced tonight.

38% United
33% City

So 62% we don't lose. They need the win a lot more than we do too.
1-1 for me.

Add their ten free hits first and that’s a lot of fouls.

I reckon we will see Kun start the game, set-up the same in midfield to allow us to control the game and put the pressure on the backline. Aguero loves playing against united so i expect him to be fully up for it and get on the score sheet on sunday. Jesus will come on second half when their defenders legs are knackered, dependant on the scoreline i think we could see both aguero and jesus on at the same time to start pulling their defenders all over the pitch towards the latter stages of the match
Whatever the situation we have great options : )

I have a wicked plan to thwart their height advantage. Play Yaya & Mangala as centre backs. Job sorted.

Oliver will give the rags free rein to kick our players off the pitch whilst the rags will get constant set pieces around our box-I'm worried but hopefully De Gea doesn't have another wonder game and we should score a few as well.
not sure where u are getting them odds from......100% book utd are 3.45 = 28.98% chance of winning

They won't play all those academy kids from the start. If reports are correct Fellaini and Matic aren't fully fit so it may be a gamble to go with both of them although both of them are shit. Will they play four at the back and not three. If they do it will be interesting as we will push Young and Valencia deep which leaves more space for KDB/Silva to work their magic unless of course they play 4 5 1 and sit on the 18 yard line

Can't see them setting up like that, they'll go 3/7 at the back, sacrificing one of the forwards for blind and hoping the wing backs can be a threat on the counter.
De Gea
Lindelof
Smalling
Blind
Valencia
Matic
Herrera
Fellaini
Young
Lingard
Lukaku
Against
Ederson
Walker
Vinny
Otamendi
Delph
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Jesus
Sané
Jordie

Maureen said after their game at anfield that he was waiting for the home team to attack, as the onus was on them. I hope somebody reminds him of this.
If we play anything like we have been doing this season i cant see any problems with us coming away with the 3 points.
Would love to see all my armchair mates go into meltdown! At the minute they are discussing which pub to watch the derby in!! I know, why not go to a game :/

To be honest, I can't remember the last time we played well without him. Every time he doesn't start, we look disjointed and a bit lost. He comes on, normality is resumed. He simply must play.

And every time he doesnt play well or the opponents know how to deal with him, we are harmless too.
It means Pep s system isnt fully operating yet.

They need to win more than us. I'd love to beat them, but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. There's more pressure on them than there is us and this piece puts it quite well. They've got to come at us. Mourinho has to attack, he can't pack the bus and that means the game will be more open, which suits us down to the ground.

All being well, we go with
Ederson,
Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Delph
Ferna, KdB, Silva (he'll be fit - if not, then put Gundogan or Yaya in, the rags are scared of Yaya)
Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Sergio has a good record against De Gea and him being a focus point up front gives a bit more space to Sterling, Sane the rest of the midfield - they have to man mark him, where as if we play with Jesus, their defence wont be as strict.
