Man Utd v Man City team news: Foden, Cancelo and Martial start

The Manchester derby is the first Premier League match of the day and kicks off at Old Trafford at 12:30pm GMT.

United and City are two of the four clubs who ‘double’ in Gameweek 20 and have been well-backed by Fantasy Premier League managers as a result: three of the top four most-bought players ahead of Friday’s deadline came from the these two teams.

The names in question were Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Kevin De Bruyne, and all of them start this afternoon.

As for the rest of the team news, Anthony Martial is fit enough to start for the hosts at Old Trafford.

Shaw stays at centre-half, with Tyrell Malacia at left-back, while Fred comes in to bolster the midfield at the expense of the benched Antony.

Three City players who have struggled for Premier League game-time since the World Cup, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and Phil Foden, are the only three survivors from the side that lost to Southampton in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Foden is back on the left flank at the expense of Jack Grealish, while Walker and Cancelo’s deployment at full-back means that there is no place for Rico Lewis.

Aymeric Laporte is also among the substitutes.

      A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

      + interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate

      + interfering with an opponent by:

      ----> preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision

      ----> challenging an opponent for the ball

      ---- clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent

      ----> making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

              The ability of the goalkeeper and defenders was impacted by the fact Rashford was in control of the ball, even if he hadn't touched it.

                It didn't impact their ability to play the ball. Only their decision of whether to try to play. "Ability" is the key word. It sets a higher bar for interference than just something psychological in the minds of the defenders.

                  It did impact their ability because they were wafting for an action from Rashford before making their decision i.e. is he going to shoot. It's the same reason you see goals ruled out when an offside player is standing near a goalkeeper because the goalkeeper is waiting for an action from that player.

                  If this whole sequence had occurred in the penalty area it would have been ruled out.

                    I don't see goals ruled out for that unless the player is interfering with the keeper's line of sight. If it does happen, the refs have made a mistake.

                        "impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball" is so clearly written to mean something different to "interferes with opponent's footballing actions", so I disagree

        Pretty straight forward. You would wonder how even with VAR it still struggles to make sense to so many.

        Time they considered doing away with off side in the whole. Less of the nonsense that way.

        They could limit it to the penalty box for starters.

        Note: I didnt see the game so this is not a reaction to the offside in this game but I have seen enough off sides (on sides) in recent times and problem appears ro he arguments canbe made both ways a lot of the time

      Not a United fan by any means, but I do understand the phrase ‘if the referee feels…’

      Ultimately if the referee doesn’t feel it was interfering then he does not have to give offside.

      As someone who obviously knows nothing about football and has never played the game in my life, I can actually grasp that concept of the rule.

      The rule has been increasingly used to rule out goals when players are merely standing offside and clearly not interfering

      So this decision really stands out as a new interpretation at a key moment in a game that could ultimately decide who are Champions

        Same with Edison, he came out to stop Rashford but there was no need to come out in the end. But it made it much easier to score for Bruno.

      Or Haaland could haul against a very dodgy spurs defence

    Just watched the Bruno goal again. Legitimate goal. The presence of Rashford had no impact on the play or what the defenders did so not interferring.

    I love how city fans want to argue about a 50 50 call when the reality is they are in deep shite with the viking up top and he can break every record and they still got worse as a team but they don't want to face that reality. May haaland stay at city for many years and may pep continue to change his unstoppable style to accommodate one person's mission to be the best player in the world. Rash is not your problem. Haaland is

                Those two are not necessarily independent facts.

                Haaland has ruined city

                City are playing crap

                    That's why I kindly inserted the phrase not necessarily.

                    You think they are independent and I thin they are not. Time will tell.

                    Hopefully haaland ends up cities top scorer and never wins anything except golden boots.

                    Best player to never win the premiership might finally get settled

      No doubt offside should have been the call for Bruno's goal ,no doubt whatsoever .
      That said as a Bruno owner and Arsenal supporter I will take it .

      The only thing city win this year is the golden boot.

      Might become a new strategy a player constantly lurking around the goalkeeper distracting him but not touching the ball
