It may well be the biggest game in the Premier League-era. With three games of the season remaining, the second-placed side hosts the leaders with a just a three point gap between them. The winners will be big favorites to claim the championship, the losers left praying for a slip-up.

Oh, and it's also a local derby. But not just any local derby; a classic face-off between established force and the boisterous upshots from across town.

City versus United, it has it all. The action on the pitch could be mighty tasty too with some top talent on show. It is City that have perhaps been the more spectacular side this season, not least in their 6-1 at Old Trafford earlier in the season. But, though United have been more workman-like, they too are capable of playing in a scintillating fashion at times.

Having closed what just a few weeks ago was an eight-point gap, City have the momentum heading into the contest, but with the experienced gained from being in this position on an almost yearly basis, United will feel that they have the wherewithal to get the point they need to maintain their advantage.

Take a look at the players who could well decide the match-and the title.
