One of the biggest Premier League clashes in recent memory takes place on Monday evening as Manchester City welcome title rivals and neighbours Manchester United to the Etihad.
A win for the blue half of Manchester would see them climb above United to top spot by virtue of goal difference, while a United win would all but hand the Red Devils yet another Premier League crown.
Roberto Mancini has a fully-fit squad to select from with defender Micah Richards available after missing the win at Wolves and striker Mario Balotelli ready after serving a three-match ban.
In-form Argentinian duo Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez are likely to continue up front despite the availability of Balotelli, who scored twice in the famous 6-1 reverse fixture in October.
For the visitors, Sir Alex Ferguson also has no fresh concerns and his toughest selection dilemma may be choosing who to play at right-back, with Rafael, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones pushing for a starting spot.
Local striker Danny Welbeck could partner Wayne Rooney, who has scored 16 times in his last 14 appearances, in attack for United.
