England: Manchester City FC v Manchester United FC (Sunday 14.30)
Sir Alex Ferguson labelled United's defending in last weekend's 4-3 win at Reading FC as "like a cartoon cavalcade", with eyebrows being raised at the usually obdurate Red Devils' vulnerability to crosses. "It's a worry, a concern," added Sir Alex, whose side have fallen behind in 15 games this season. "If we perform like that on Sunday, God knows what'll happen to us." Still, United's subsequent 1-0 home defeat by CFR 1907 Cluj hit them significantly less hard than a 1-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund and an early exit from Europe did City, who trail their neighbours by three points at the top of the table. "Now we've got to move on," said City midfielder Scott Sinclair – and what better way to do so than by creating a bit more noise to unhinge the neighbours?
