A Manchester derby with extremely high stakes takes the spotlight on Saturday as Manchester United play host to their cross-town rivals Manchester City at ...

There's no reason not to ride the hot hand. In his last 15 Premier League appearances dating back to the win over Liverpool in mid-August, Rashford has collected a whopping 6.76 xG (expected goals) on 35 shots, good for an exceptional .193 xG per shot. Manchester United have been exceptionally stout defensively in recent months, holding eight of their last nine opponents to 1.0 xG or fewer. On their day, they can roast an opponent, but when they aren't in top form — something every team struggles through at times during a long season — they aren't able to grind out results. Pep Guardiola has made some questionable tactical decisions in big games of late, recalling the old addage of the Spanish manager overthinking in key moments. However, regardless of the outcome, goals are expected, as United are in exceptional goalscoring form and City are loaded with attacking talent. The Red Devils have been especially good at being patient, something which their sky blue rivals could learn a thing or two about. Central defence is the area of concern for Man City, with both Ruben Dias and John Stones a concern. - Phil Foden has just one Premier League goal and no assists since scoring October 8 against Southampton. Dias is for sure absent, still recovering from his hamstring injury suffered at the World Cup. United, meanwhile, are on a run of eight wins straight across all competitions and have played exceptional football on both sides of the pitch, conceding just four goals in those eight games, including just two over their last seven. City have their sights set even higher, looking to take aim at first-place Arsenal.

It will be a close call between Phil Foden and Jack Grealish over who joins Haaland and a resurgent Riyad Mahrez in the City forward line. Fred could come in to bolster the United midfield, given City have dominated that area of the pitch during recent derbies. Manuel Akanji is most likely to partner Nathan Ake at centre-back, where the Dutchman has been preferred to Aymeric Laporte over recent weeks. Telemundo, Universo, USA Network
