Man City v Man Utd
Sunday 19 August - Channel: 27 - 8:30pm - (Live)
Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has failed to bring in a
new keeper so 20-year-old rookie Kasper Schmeichel continues in
goal.
Brazilian midfielder Elano is expected to shake off a knock so
Eriksson is likely to name an unchanged line-up.
Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo starts a three-match ban
for his sending-off against Portsmouth.
He joins the injured Wayne Rooney, Owen Hargreaves, Louis Saha,
Anderson and Gary Neville on the sidelines.
