Manchester City v Manchester United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Even a win for Manchester United only cuts the deficit to Manchester City down to 11 points with 10 games left but try they must. Pep Guardiola’s team are aiming for a 22nd successive win: should Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team stop them it will be one for fans to brag about but, surely, the title race is already over.
