Manchester United v Manchester City Kick-off: Sun May 10, 5.30pm, Old Trafford, Manchester TV: Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports HD1 Radio: BBC Radio 5 Live What is there to play for? United, buoyed by their Champions League semi-final cakewalk against Arsenal last week, are looking to move a major step closer to winning the Premier League, while City are still hoping for a Europa League place and will be keen to make up for a frustrating 1-0 defeat at Eastlands in November. Sir Alex Ferguson feels his Portuguese winger, who has scored five goals in five games, is in the form of his life and it will be up to Bridge to stifle the United man. An impressive display would be looked on favourably by England coach Fabio Capello. Meanwhile, over at the Emirates today, Bridge's erstwhile Chelsea team-mate and rival for the England left-back spot has a battle of his own against Theo Walcott. Team news United have lost Wes Brown for the rest of the season due to a foot injury and Gary Neville could beat John O'Shea to a starting place in the first XIto go up against Robinho after recovering from a foot problem of his own. The City manager Mark Hughes must decide whether Shaun Wright-Phillips is fit enough to feature after five games out with an ankle injury and Pablo Zabaleta should return at right-back after a hamstring injury. Team details Manchester United (probable, 4-4-2): van der Sar; Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Ronaldo, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs; Berbatov, Rooney.Manchester City (probable, 4-3-2-1): Given; Richards, Dunne, Onouha, Bridge; de Jong, Ireland, Kompany; Elano, Robinho, Caicedo.Referee: C Foy (Merseyside)
