Premier League :Manchester City v Manchester United Preview,Live Stream

So this week we are actually playing the team in the title. Last week I had Chelsea on the brain, so that happened.Two of English football's bitterest rivals go head to head at Old Trafford on Tuesday night as Manchester United entertain Manchester City in the Premier League.

  eam news first: Sergio Aguero has been ruled out of the fixture, as has Matija Nastasic. Aguero isn't far away, but right now no one has any idea what is going on with Nastasic. Very concerning for a talented 20 year old. He's got a good future ahead, but can't seem to figure out what is going on with his knee. Vincent Kompany is back in the lineup, and Micah Richards is available again.

Projected lineup: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya, Milner, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko.

Both sides will be without arguably their leading strikers, as Robin Van Persie and Sergio Aguero will miss the clash due to injury. Howver, they will both be buoyed by the returns of stalwarts Rio Ferdinand and Vincent Kompany, both no strangers to fierce Manchester derbies.
