The Gameweek rolls on with one of those “titanic clashes” between the Manchester rivals.

A potential feast for the neutral, City host United in an encounter that boasts a rich supply of attacking talent and a pair of suspect defences: there will surely be goals on offer. Fantasy managers will certainly be hoping that’s the case, with Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria found in 25% and 38% of Fantasy Premier League squads respectively.

The team news from the Etihad finds Wayne Rooney making a return to the United lineup following suspension, with Juan Mata dropping to the bench as expected. Antonio Valencia earns a start, presumably at right-back, with Rafael missing out through injury sustained in training on Thursday. City are also forced into changes as David Silva sits out with a knee injury, while Edin Dzeko drops to the bench. Eliaquim Mangala is out of the City squad with reports suggesting that he’s nursing a hip problem – James Milner, Martin Demichelis and Stevan Jovetic all earn starts for Manuel Pellegrini. The Chilean has also been forced into a late change, with Aleks Kolarov injuring himself in the warm-up to be replaced by Gael Clichy.

The big derby clash is followed at 4pm by Tottenham’s trip to Aston Villa – a suitably stodgy dessert to follow today’s big roast.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            Gnu,

            You normally come across as a pretty decent bloke and I don't actually want to fall out.

            I have met him on numerous occasions, used to spend a lot of time in the VIP lounge when he played for spurs. Both him and his missus who I must say was and still is a sort above all other sorts are definitely not tw@ts. Ok so you may disagree with some of his views, that's fine but as I said he is actually a really top bloke. If only 1% of other footballers had the same attitude as him then the game would be a much better one....

              No worries but I made my point above.
              Yep, I'm sure he is and he does seem a nice lad but I was purely referring to his football punditry, which I don't rate.
              I'm sure there's a lot of guys out there you don't rate but I do, it is a public forum after all and most of us haven't met these people.
              There's a lot of twatish behaviour around this site at times - seemed a bit harsh.
              I'll let you off with a warning this time. 🙂
