I agree Arab. LvG plays form players so expect RvP to start.

Kolarov has a wicked FK though... No stupid tackles around the area today please reds!!

Gary Neville commentating today... #Impartial

Yeah, hope Kolarov wont play, he has a mean set piece in him.

RVP deserves a start I agree but I dont think we can afford to play 2 upfront against city away. Rooney offers more to the teams set up than than RVP when played up top imo.

Having said that, RVP probably score couple of goals and prove yet again that I know f all about football

I love it when managers and player show us how inept we all are!

Remember Rafael - O'Shea - Park - Fabio..

BBC says Rafael is injured and TV is at RB

I'm not.

No Herrera, no Rafael

We look like 4-2-3-1

Navas will play on the right, so Valencia has to deal with Milner, that wont be much of a problem imo. not looking forward to Yaya vs Fellani II

Same with us I think Paul...

Sky say it's a 442 for City

Fellaini has a lot to prove against Yaya!

@ManUtd: Rafael misses the derby after picking up an injury on Thursday. #mufc

Definitely not 4-4-2 with that line up

Former Manchester United defender Phil Neville told BBC Sport that United have no pressure on them today and effectively have a "free hit" at the Eithad Stadium.

I think that's fair

Much rather have seen Herrera than the largely ineffective but looks good januzaj.

Going to be close.

He's probably right... Even our own fans have written us off for today haha!!
