Start of match
-
PRVWThe pre-match warm-ups of both sides are complete and we're closing in on kick-off.
-
PRVW“I’ve informed Garnacho and Rashford on WhatsApp. There is a communication after the last training, as always”.
-
PRVW"I pay attention to everything, the way you eat, the way you put on your clothes to go the game. Everything. I make my evaluation and then I have to decide. I have a lot of players to choose," Amorim told Sky Sports.
-
PRVW"I don't want to send a message. It's simply an evaluation, and they know it. The players are really, really smart. Everybody understands my decision. I have to choose. It's just simple selection. The context is difficult. We have to win games and we have a difficult situation."
-
PRVWAmorim warned Rashford and Garnacho that he "pays attention to everything" after making the surprising decision to leave both players out of the squad to face Manchester City.
-
PRVWRuben Amorim says his decision to leave Rashford and Garnacho out of the squad for the Manchester derby is purely a selection decision.

PRVWTHE OFFICIAL LINE-UPS FOR BOTH SIDES HAVE LANDED!
-
PRVW"We have so much to do here, in my mind only (this) exists. "Of course we need to have a strategy, we need to understand the opponent, but my focus is just Manchester United. We just want to improve and to win games."
-
PRVWGuardiola is in the middle of his toughest spell since taking charge in 2016 but Amorim said he would not be distracted by City's problems. "I have a huge respect for Manchester City but I'm just focused on Manchester United," said the Portuguese, who inflicted a 4-1 defeat on City last month in his penultimate match as Sporting boss.
-
PRVW"We are focused on improving day by day, and we want to see different things. "I think we did a good job in the first half against Arsenal (in an eventual 2-0 loss), so we have that ability, we have players to do it, and we will try to do it again and try to win the game."
-
PRVWUnited were buoyed by Thursday's 2-1 Europa League comeback win at Viktoria Plzen but they desperately need to turn their form around in the league - they have their lowest points total after 15 matches since 1986. "I am always looking forward to coaching Manchester United, especially in the derby but we have so much to focus (on)," United manager Amorim told MUTV.
-
PRVWThe Portuguese is preparing for his first derby since arriving at Old Trafford last month - with both teams desperately in need of a win. United, 13th in the table ahead of the weekend fixtures, have won only once in four league matches since Amorim joined the club. Pep Guardiola's City have just one victory in 10 games in all competitions but are still eight points ahead of their rivals in the English top flight.

PRVWRuben Amorim ha declarado que el Manchester United «luchará» por la victoria en el choque del domingo contra el Manchester City, un equipo que no atraviesa su mejor momento en la Premier League.
-
PRVWAnthony Taylor will be in the middle for this one, Stuart Attwell the VAR and Tim Robinson the fourth official.
-
PRVWManchester United possible starting lineup: Onana (GK); Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez; Diallo, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
-
PRVWManchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson (GK); Walker, Dias, Simpson-Pusey, Gvardiol; De Bruyne, Kovacic; Silva, Foden, Nunes; Haaland.
-
PRVWLet's take a look at some possible line-ups for the clash!!
-
PRVWUnited are hardly in peak form themselves, having won just three of Amorim's six games in charge since he replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag. But Amorim has already inflicted one painful blow to Guardiola this season when his Sporting side crushed City 4-1 in the Champions League in Lisbon on November 5.
-
PRVWWednesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Juventus was City's seventh loss in that period, an astonishing collapse for a club that has won six of the last seven Premier League titles, including their current streak of four in a row.
-
PRVWFor the first time in years, City go into the Manchester derby mired in even more turmoil than United after a dismal run of one win in 10 games in all competitions.
