Manchester City will host the second Manchester derby of the season on Sunday afternoon, as Manchester United visit the Etihad in the Premier League.

For United, a victory will keep them in fourth place for the time being, although Arsenal have two games in hand over Rangnick's side in the fight for Champions League qualification.
The last meeting between the two rivals saw City breeze to a routine victory at Old Trafford in what was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's penultimate game as United boss. Bernardo Silva added to Eric Bailly's early own goal to hand City a 2-0 victory against United.

Edinson Cavani is set to return to the United squad after weeks out with a groin problem, with Rangnick verifying his return on Sunday. The German manager said: "Today was his second session. He looks good, so I think he could at least be part of the group for Sunday."
