5 Things to Look Forward to in the Manchester Derby !

3) No Aguerooooooooooo, No Party !

With 8 Goals in 9 matches, only one other player has a better record than Kun in the derby. Only the enigmatic French king of Manchester Eric Cantona scored 8 in 7 games, but he did it vs a city side that is struggling to be alive in premier league whereas Kun scored against a United side that is at top.

So missing him because of ban, will be a huge loss to city. So now the big question is who will step up in place of Kun? Iheanacho is an option available for Pep. The youngster has impressed in his debut season and he has an eye for goal. Also Pep may go ahead by playing Raheem as false 9 along with Sane/Navas and Nolito on both the flanks.

Nolito has impressed with 3 goals and 2 assists so far and can be a threat from the left, especially against Valencia. Sane is another exciting prospect who can cause a lot of trouble on the right side with his pace, trickery and eye for goal. But he has to prove his fitness to start the derby. If he isn’t fit, Pep is expected to go with Navas, which is a good news to United fans.
