Manchester United head into the 191st Manchester derby hoping, rather than expecting, to come away with something.
The Premier League encounter, which takes place at Old Trafford on Sunday, represents an opportunity for the Reds to make up some ground on their rivals, who they are currently six points behind. Manchester City will, of course, prove to be tricky opponents meaning United's players will need to be firing on all cylinders if they are to claim three points.
One area United boss Erik ten Hag will be looking for improvement in is his forward line, who have struggled to find form so far this season.

Ten Hag has confirmed that United are talking with the Football Association over Garnacho's social media post in which he used two gorilla emojis alongside a picture of Andre Onana.
The FA have been in contact with United to ask for Garnacho's observations over the X post, which he subsequently deleted. Onana took to Instagram on Thursday night to say he knew what the 19-year-old meant and that the matter should go no further.
