Manchester United host Manchester City in one of the most keenly anticipated Manchester derbies of recent years on Saturday.
City swept aside their rivals 6-3 in October, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden each notching hat-tricks to highlight the gulf that has generally existed between the teams since Pep Guardiola's arrival at the Etihad Stadium in 2016.
But United have found their feet under Erik ten Hag and head into the return encounter having won eight consecutive matches in all competitions.
Another victory against a City team short of their best form would bring United to within one point of the reigning Premier League champions and definitively into the title race.

Man United vs Man City lineups
Diogo Dalot was substituted during the first half of United's midweek League Cup win over Charlton Athletic and misses out, meaning Aaron Wan-Bissaka starts at right-back.
In midfield, Ten Hag brought in Fred to add extra solidity to an area City have dominated over recent meetings. Christian Eriksen keeps his place and Bruno Fernandes will move into the front three, where Anthony Martial led the line having passed a late fitness test.
Luke Shaw was preferred at centre-back to Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire. who are both on the bench
Man United XI (4-3-3): De Gea (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Shaw, Malacia — Eriksen, Casemiro, Fred — Fernandes, Martial, Rashford
Man United subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Martinez, Mainoo, McTominay, Antony, Elanga, Garnacho
Kevin De Bruyne returned to the City lineup having rested up on the bench for the recent cup encounters with Chelsea and Southampton.
John Stones sat out the 2-0 defeat at St Mary's with a knock and Guardiola said the England defender is still "not ready". Manuel Akanji will reprise his partnership with Nathan Ake from the derby earlier in the season.
Phil Foden got the nod over Jack Grealish for a place in the City front three alongside Erling Haaland and the in-form Riyad Mahrez.
Man City XI (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Akanji, Ake, Cancelo — Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne — Mahrez, Haaland, Foden
Man City subs: Ortega, Phillips, Gundogan, Grealish, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Palmer, Lewis
Man United vs Man City prediction, odds
Marcus Rashford's sensational form in front of goal, with seven goals in six appearances since the World Cup, gives United hope of snapping a run of three consecutive derby losses.
In each of those reverses, the Red Devils let in the opening goal within the first 10 minutes, meaning defence might be foremost among Ten Hag's thoughts early on.
City have lacked some of their fluency from earlier in the season, with Guardiola prioritising control over destruction. Do not expect a repeat of the goal-fest from last October.
Prediction: 1-1
