Man United reveal squad ahead of Man City clash, Mourinho given injury boost as Besiktas target makes the cut
Manchester United take on Manchester City at Old Trafford hoping to put an end to their rivals win streak.
The Citizens 13 successive wins in a single season equals a Premier League record set by Arsenal in 2001-02 and Chelsea last season.
City are however, comping off the back of their first defeat this season at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Match Day 6.
United boss Jose Mourinho will be without midfielder Paul Pogba who starts a three-match ban.
The France international was sent off in last weekend’s win at Arsenal.
Mourinho will also be without Michael Carrick and defender Eric Bailly who are on the side-lines.

“Michael Carrick is not available, Eric Bailly is not available. Nemanja Matic is injured but he plays.”
