Manchester Derby

There's plenty of previous games to study for this Blue vs Red clash

Fletcher, Nani, Brown, Scholes and Park and possibly Vidic are the stand out picks based on the last 3 games for United. Evra hasn't been scoring as he used to. Carrick and Gibson are doubtful and could be a substitution risk if they do start. Hernandez needs at least a goal and an assist to be worth it so should be picked only if you're confident he can achieve that.

De Jong, Zabaleta and then a centre back and a central midfielder (both the latter depending on the line-up) would be the conservative choice for City. However if you think there will be several goals about then Tevez, Silva and Johnson score reasonably enough to only need a goal or an assist to be worthy of your 5. Somewhere in the middle of the conservative choice and the goalscoring choice lie Milner and Barry and could make a good compromise.

Both goalkeepers are unlikely to feature in a winning top 5 as either would need at least 6 or more saves to feature. Avoid unless you think the game will be incredibly open with plenty of shots on target.

A solid 5 would probably look like De Jong, Zabeleta, Tevez, Fletcher and Scholes but there will be at least 13 players on the pitch tonight that all could make a strong case for inclusion.

Good luck!
