Worth keeping an eye on

Yaya Touré - Manchester City: The Ivorian midfielder has not impressed as much as he did last season, but is still key player for Manchester City. If he plays his best, he can be a decisive player for City in this match, but on his worst days you will not even notice him on the pitch. That said, he has the ability of being anonymous in 80 minutes and then suddenly pop up and score the match winning goal.

Daley Blind - Manchester United: Danny Blind will be crucial for the Manchester United defend in this match. The Dutch has to take control of the midfield and play hard against Navas, Milner and Silva and keep them from supplying Aguero the ball.



What to expect from this match?

City have won six of the last ten matches and have the advantage against United. None of the last ten meetings have ended with a draw why we can expect to see a winner by the end of the match, and City are the favorites. However, they displayed their weaknesses against West Ham, and it is up to van Gaal to take advantage of these. Against Chelsea, Manchester United showed that they don't just give up, and their fighter spirit is important against City on Sunday. Comparing the tow sides City looks the strongest, and Aguero will be a mouthful for the United defends. We can expect at close match between the two sides with Manchester City as the late winners.

What are the odds?

Manchester City: 17/20 (Betway)

Draw: 3 (William Hill)

Manchester United: 38/11 (BETBRIGHT)

Arsenal v Manchester City

Emirates Stadium

How are the two sides current form?

Arsenal are, so far, unbeaten in the Premier League with a win against Crystal Palace in the first round of the new season, followed up by two draws against Everton and Leicester. Despite the win in the first round, this has not been the start of the season most Gunners had hoped for.

Manchester City started the season as expected with two wins, against Newcastle and Liverpool, before, surprisingly losing against Stoke last round. Despite the defeat, City are currently fourth in the Premier League, one single point ahead of Arsenal on the seventh.

The guests have won five of the last ten meetings with Arsenal, but the Gunners won last time to the sides faced eachother. This was in the Community Shield final prior to this season, where Arsenal won 3-0.

What are the probable line-ups?

Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Serge Gnabry are all out of this match, while Mikel Arteta, Kieran Gibbs, Laurent Koscielny and Mesut Ozil are all rated doubtful. Only Eliaquim Mangala is out of the Manchester City squad, while Fernando and Pablo Zabaleta are rated doubtful.

Manchester City: Yaya Touré is one of the most underestimated midfielders in the Premier League, and he proved that last season. He is one of the best when it comes to breaking the play and creating chances, why he is so important for City in this match.
