This is a Manchester derby like no other, with the hosts knowing a victory over the Red Devils would confirm them as champions with a record six games to go.
But Jose Mourinho will be desperate to prevent Pep Guardiola from celebrating in front of him, and he has had the whole week to prepare.
City had a nightmare evening at Anfield yesterday, going down 3-0 to Liverpool in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.
With the second leg on Tuesday, Guardiola will be certain to rest several key players, giving Mourinho a better chance of postponing the title party.
United have nearly a fully fit squad to choose from.
Daley Blind and back-up goalkeeper Sergio Romero are both suffering from knocks, but neither would have featured even if fit.
We think the Special One will pack his midfield in a 4-3-3 formation, and task his wingers with defensive duties as he looks to secure a memorable result at the Etihad.
