Gelson Fernandes (hamstring) and Pablo Zabaleta (thigh) are also available. Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov is in contention after returning to training following a hamstring injury. Defender Gary Neville (groin) and midfielder Paul Scholes (knee) have resumed training, but only Neville looks likely to be in the squad. Manchester City (from): Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Dunne, Garrido, Ball, Wright-Phillips, Elano, Ireland, Kompany, Robinho, Vassell, Hamann, Benjani Mwaruwari, Sturridge, Fernandes, Ben Haim, Schmeichel, Onuoha, Evans.

Hughes won two, drew two and lost three of his seven league clashes with United when in charge of Blackburn. ＊ Ferguson has won 11 and drawn one of the last 12 matches when United have faced a club managed by a former protege of the Red Devils boss. In all Ferguson has plotted tactics against his former players 50 times in the Premier League, winning 38 and losing just five. ＊ United have won seven Premier League games so far; City have lost seven. ＊ Between them these clubs boast 24 different scorers of league goals this term; 12 each. ＊ Distance between the clubs: five miles (eight kilometres) This is of course the season's shortest Premier League journey for Manchester United, and the shortest of any top-flight club this weekend. CLUB FORM 1. Completed successive goalless draws in league and cup and not conceded in four games in all competitions. 2. Lost one of the last 10 Premier League matches; 2-1, away to Arsenal on 8 November. 3. One defeat shy of 150 in top-flight football under Sir Alex Ferguson. 4. Last Saturday's goalless stalemate, away to Aston Villa, was their first no score draw in 50 Premier League matches, and the first time they had failed to score in 37 league outings, ending their club record run of scoring in each of the last 36 Premier League games. 5. On the longest current run in the highest league of 91 matches since a loss by more than a single goal; the most recent being 3-0, away to Chelsea on 29 April 2006. 6. Five points down on this same stage last season, when they were top of the table. 7. Lost one of eight North-West derbies; 2-1, away to Liverpool on 13 September 2008. KEY PLAYER NOTES ＊ Patrice EVRA is the only player to have started each of Manchester United's Premier League games this season. ＊ If he scores: - Wayne ROONEY will total 100 club goals (Everton and Manchester United). ＊ If selected: - John O'SHEA will be making his 200th career Premier League appearance for Manchester United. - Ryan GIGGS will be playing the day after his 35th birthday. HEAD TO HEAD ＊ The winner of the Manchester league derby at City has alternated in the last five years. United must win this time if that pattern is to continue. ＊ The last 11 matches between City and United have yielded a total of 32 goals. ＊ United were one of three clubs City did the double over last season; City were the only club to do the double over United.
