Overview

City come into this crucial derby fixture after being knocked out of the Capital One Cup by Newcastle United on Wednesday evening. Manuel Pellegrini saw his side suffer a 2-0 defeat in front of home fans as their win-less run extended to three matches in all competitions.

The former Real Madrid manager would be keen to get back to winning ways when his side take on United on Sunday. City struggled in the last league match as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against West Ham United last weekend.

City and Pellegrini will have an eye on the midweek Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow. The Premier League champions need to win in order to keep their hopes of qualifying for the next stages of the Europe's elite club competition alive.

Louis van Gaal has seen his side avoid defeat in the last league fixture after Robin van Persie's stoppage time equaliser helped United to settle for a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

So far this season, United have failed to win any of the league matches away from home and the Dutchman would be looking to secure a win when his side face City on Sunday. United will welcome Wayne Rooney back into the squad, while City will be without the services of star midfielder David Silva.

What Managers Say

Manuel Pellegrini: "I think Manchester United bought very important players this year, but I think also they are at the moment where you start with a new manager and new players, which is not easy. Maybe the same thing happened with me last year, so I think they are in similar moments. But I expect that we are going to have a tough game against a very good team with very good players."

Louis van Gaal: "Ryan Giggs has explained that in analysis to the players. It can be better to play now against Manchester City - I see that. But at the other side, they shall be more motivated to play against Manchester United."
