Can Manchester United pull off an unlikely double against Manchester City?

United were left shell-shocked when they were thrashed 6-1 in this fixture in 2011 and City are 125/1 to repeat that scoreline.

United have turned their season around despite losing MarcusRashford to injury, with Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood chipping in withtheir share of goals.

Meanwhile, the emergence of Odion Ighalo will have givenSolskjaer something to think about. The former Watford striker joined United onloan in January and he’ll be pushing for a start after following up his goalagainst Club Brugge with a brace in Thursday’s FA Cup win over Derby.

A decision must also be made about who plays in goal. DavidDe Gea has had an uncharacteristically poor season, with his most recentmistake handing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin a goal in his lastouting.

There have been suggestions that Sergio Romero could becalled upon. The Argentine has kept five clean sheets in his six appearancesthis season.

For City, Guardiola is sweating over the fitness of talismanKevin De Bruyne. United will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing aCity side without the Belgian after he missed their midweek FA Cup win with aback problem.

They’ll also be without Aymeric Laporte, whose comeback frominjury was short-lived after he was ruled out for a month with a hamstringproblem. The Frenchman’s return coincided with three clean sheets in four games.

Despite trailing table-toppers Liverpool by 22 points, Citywon’t have completely ruled out a late title charge, particularly amid JurgenKlopp’s side’s recent blip.

And with a game in hand to play, a win over United couldprove pivotal in the season’s run-in.

Solskjaer’s side sit fifth in the table, three points behindfourth-placed Chelsea, but with Wolves, Tottenham and Sheffield United on theirtail, completing the league double over their rivals would be a huge boost.
