SWP struggling with injury

Last updated : 08 May 2009 By Master Bob

Shaun Wright-Phillips is still struggling with the ankle injury that has kept him out of the last five games and may not be in contention for a place in Sunday's derby at Old Trafford.

Manager Mark Hughes confirmed Pablo Zabaleta and Bejani had trained on Friday, but said there was 'still a doubt over Shaun.'

City travel across town to face United who, according to Wayne Rooney, are still smarting from last season's 2-1 home defeat to the blues.

Hughes, who won at Old Trafford with Blackburn in 2005 says it is great to win at Old Trafford and is hoping to emulate Sven Goran Eriksson's achievements last year as City recorded their first win at United since Dennis Law back-heeled them from the first division in 1974.

It ill be a tough game at Old Trafford, with United still on a high after reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League and three points on Sunday will take them ever closer to the league title. But City have their sights set on the points which will hopefully put them into seventh place by Sunday night and a place in Europe will be theirs to throw away.

Prediction: 2-2
