The EPL returns after some intriguing scores on Saturday. Here's what Sunday looks like.
MANCHESTER UNITED V MANCHESTER CITY (13:05)
Manchester United winger Ashley Young is back in training but not fit enough to play the Manchester derby, while City are without Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Gael Clichy and Fabian Delph due to injuries.
United come into the game after a disappointing 1-1 draw against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League during their trip to the Far East. The Russian outfit opened the score from a rebound of a penalty shot saved by David de Gea.
Anthony Martial scored a brilliant header in the second half to level the score. However, Louis van Gaal's side were not able to find the second goal and had to settle for the draw, despite dominating the match with possession.
What managers say
Louis van Gaal: "When you look at the facts they are first and we are third. There's a goal difference, a point difference, and they are first so they are the favourite, I think."
Manuel Pellegrini: "I don't have any problem with Vincent Kompany. I need, every week, to choose the 11 that I think is the best for that game and when the others play they must wait. It's crucial to play with the best players for the moment. Mangala and Otamendi are doing well."

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge remains a doubt for Sunday's visit of Southampton after undergoing an ultrasound scan on a troublesome knee, while Southampton's similarly injury-ravaged Jay Rodriguez could also miss out due to pain in his feet.
