The injury issues are beginning to pile up

Whilst City are nowhere near the dire straights Arsenal are in when it comes to their injury record, things are not looking great.

David Silva is so vital to them and should he miss out on the game or not be able to play the full 90 minutes at the peak of his powers, United can seriously look to capitalise on this and use it to their advantage.

City will rue missing former Chelsea star Frank Lampard with the midfielder always doing well against United when at his previous club before becoming a turncoat.
