It’s a ginormous Manchester Derby tomorrow night, and there’s a lot of ground to cover so let’s just dive right in. Obviously, Paul Pogba is the headliner among the big names who will be missing for the Red Devils, but there were a few other players with fitness updates revealed by Manager Jose Mourinho at his press conference a few hours ago (watch that here).

Manchester Derby Odds via Odds Checker:
City 10/11, Draw 14/5, United 7/2
Manchester Derby Prediction: City 1, United 0
United are just too banged up right now to get a result. On top of all that, City took the first meeting back at Old Trafford in mid September, and that was when on the Citizens were on the road. The Red Devils just have too many issues to overcome in this one, and with both big-spending Manchester clubs feeling the weight of the pressure to finish in the top four, I expect the home side to get it done.
