De Bruyne, Fernandes headline a Man City-dominated Manchester combined XI

Manchester City face Manchester United in the 185th Manchester derby on Sunday in a game that, less than two months ago, was shaping up to be a potential Premier League title decider.

United climbed to the top of the table with a 1-0 win at Burnley on Jan. 12, moving seven points clear of City (who had two games in hand) to raise hopes of a first title at Old Trafford since 2013. But when United travel to the Etihad on Sunday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team will find themselves 14 points behind Pep Guardiola's men following a 21-point swing in just seven weeks.
