Hungrier United to Edge Manchester Derby
City return to league action after successfully defending their Carabao Cup crown against Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, though it seems there's not much for Pep Guardiola's side left to fight for.
They remain 22 points adrift of Liverpool with one game in hand and are seven points clear of Leicester City in third, while arch-nemeses United are hardly nailed on to finish among the top five just yet.
The Citizens won 3-1 when they visited Old Trafford during the League Cup semi-finals in January. Kevin De Bruyne was key for the guests in that triumph, but he's a doubt after missing Wednesday's 1-0 FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday because of injury, per Simon Bajkowski of the Manchester Evening News:
Phil Foden could feature at Old Trafford after missing the clash against Wednesday. Guardiola was asked why the 19-year-old missed out on the fifth-round fixture and replied, per Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News: "They were playing good, I didn't want to move much. He's ready. He has to be ready. Next game, he's going to play."
Sergio Aguero scored the only goal at Hillsborough to drive City back to the FA Cup quarter-finals. It took him above the tally Wayne Rooney accumulated during his days at United, per Squawka:
United have enjoyed a promising patch of their own and are unbeaten in nine outings across all competitions, having mauled Derby County 3-0 on Thursday to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for a sixth straight season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will use their January defeat at home to City as fuel for their redemption come Sunday, while the race for a top-five finish serves as sufficient motivation itself.
Guardiola used Sunday's Carabao Cup victory as an opportunity to emphasise City's dominance in recent seasons, via BBC Radio Manchester Sport:
It would be a special triumph for United if they were to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League while City were banned from the competition, but that now seems a possible fate for the two clubs.
Bruno Fernandes has sparked a United attack that was sorely lacking his interlink between midfield and attack, while the Red Devils have proved largely resilient at home this season. Liverpool (11 goals) are the only team in the Premier League to have conceded fewer at home than Solskjaer's side (12) during the campaign.
Lampard Set for Ancelotti Reunion at the Bridge
Lampard will meet another of his former mentors for the first time as a manager when former Chelsea chief Ancelotti brings his Everton side to west London.
The Italian icon led Chelsea to a Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010 when Lampard was his vice-captain, with a lot having changed for both football figures in the decade since.
Lampard was complimentary of his old boss when Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli in early December, via Football Daily:
It's perhaps unexpected that the two would meet so early in Lampard's coaching career, but he'll be hopeful of his chances after already beating former manager Jose Mourinho twice this season.
Ancelotti has lost three of his 10 league fixtures in charge of Everton, each of which came away from home and against "big six" teams: Manchester City (2-1), Liverpool (1-0) and Arsenal (3-2).
Everton's only two away wins under his guidance have come at Newcastle United and Watford, indicating there's still a deficiency with Everton when it comes to those higher-profile encounters.
Kepa Arrizabalaga looks to have regained confidence after impressing in the midweek win over Liverpool, and former Watford goalkeeper Richard Lee predicted the youngster will keep his place on Love Sport Radio:
Chelsea are unbeaten in two league games, while the Toffees have lost just once in their last seven, but the pressure to avoid a loss could hold the hosts back from clinching all three points.
