Yet another midweek loss in the Premier League will be giving Ruben Amorim plenty to consider ahead of this one, as United continue to really toil domestically. The Europa League could be their ticket to European football next season, with a last 8 tie with Lyon on the horizon next week. For now, City at home is always one that resonates with the fans, and they will want to see United step things up here and do the double over their local rivals.

Manchester City
A couple of wins over the past week have lifted the relative gloom at City, who now have a FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest to look forward to. The blues sit 5th in the Premier League table, knowing that a strong finish to the season would see them clinch a top 4 spot and their new players are starting to find their feet under Pep Guardiola.
