Nine minutes until United and City name their teams. We'll see what the DNA in the team is like then.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists many of his players have the club "DNA" after criticism of the side's thrashing at Everton.

United's 4-0 loss at Goodison Park on Sunday was their sixth defeat in eight games.

Midfielder Paul Pogba said the players "did not respect the club or their fans" during the loss.

"You learn about players. Now is not the time to talk about making wholesale changes," said Solskjaer yesterday.

"You can see the Man Utd DNA in many of these players. We have to get players in and some players will have to go out."

I think Man Utd will go high press and they will be very aggressive. They will be looking for a reaction tonight and they shouldn't be tired after the Everton game. They will try to get the fans on board and hope that carries them through the 90 minutes.

No Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Arsenal squad at all tonight. We’ll let you know when we hear why.

Alexandre Lacazette starts up front. Unai Emery gives my fantasy team a boost by recalling Nacho Monreal and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Leander Dendoncker returns to the Wolves team.

Fans accept bad performances and they accept defeats but they will not accept a lack of effort. Man Utd have to put it right tonight and they have to start pointing fingers.

I've heard some Man Utd fans say they want to lose so Liverpool don't win the league, which is nonsense.

United have to win to get Champions League football next season - but if they make Europe, would that repeat the same vicious cycle again where they bring in world class players on similar amounts of money?

There might be a strange atmosphere at Old Trafford on Wednesday because some Manchester United fans do not want their side to beat Manchester City and put arch-rivals Liverpool in control of the Premier League title race.

But there is no way that will affect the outlook of the United players, who have a point to prove after their pathetic display against Everton on Sunday.

The good news for Liverpool is that United will be more dangerous because of their own situation, and I also don't believe they can be as bad again as they were at the weekend.

Read Shearer's analysis here.

Darren: I remember when United were going toe-to-toe with Leeds for the title. Leeds came to Maine Road. I recall thinking I really didn't want us to win the game as it could hand the title to United. The build-up to the game and inside the ground was really flat. We won the game 4-0 and I thought we'd handed the title to Utd. As it was, they messed it up and Leeds went on to win the last Division 1 title.

Wolves were held by Brighton on Saturday and it seems they struggle to beat teams who just sit in against them.

That is something for Nuno Espirito Santo to sort out for next season, but I don't think it will be a problem on Wednesday because Arsenal will go at them.

Arsenal could well end up winning the Europa League but they have had the same problem all season: massive issues defensively, as we saw again in Sunday's defeat by Crystal Palace.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

This week Lawro took on Ten Tonnes, aka singer-songwriter Ethan Barnett.

His prediction: "I spoke to my dad about this and he said, 'you have just got to go all in and back United'. City are obviously favourites, but I am going with Ole. 3-0"

You can guess who he supports...

I think United will play on the break too, because that is almost the only way they can play at the moment. However, I don't see it working for them.

This is a lot like a Champions League game in terms of the quality of the opposition for United and we saw in their home games against Paris St-Germain and Barcelona how they could not get the ball, and without it they could not do anything.

That is the way I see Wednesday going, with City dominating possession, creating more chances - and picking United off.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Read the predictions here.

James Martin: Can we all stop talking as if Man Utd have the option to either win or lose tonight. They may try their hardest to beat us but still lose. It's not 'letting someone win for the greater good' when you can't get the ball for 80% of the match and only get 2 shots away.

Kian Patel: As a Liverpool fan, I am hoping for a favour from our bitter rivals. City are a tough team to beat but I'm confident United can get a draw or win. I think the title will be decided tonight, both teams won't drop points from the remaining fixtures. Biggest game of the season?

The Manchester derby has been fought 43 times in the Premier League - and 177 times in total - bringing some fierce contests along the way.

Manchester United fans take on a game of 'would you rather' to see just how far they would go to stop Liverpool lifting the Premier League trophy.

You have been having your say on our Facebook pages today too. Here's a selection of your thoughts...

Daran Mac Thoirealaigh: For any Utd fan to want anything other than success for their own team regardless of what it means for others is nothing more than bitter and is not support in any form. Get behind your team. Surely you want your team in the CL bringing in world class players and challenging your rivals for title next season??? If not, then tell me what it is you're a fan of, cos it's certainly not your team

Scott Dinsmore: I am a Liverpool fan, I don't want united to win tonight, there are other games City can drop points, although a draw would do tonight

Chris Stevenson: United for the win!! We need top four, who cares if Liverpool win the league, nothing we haven't done 13 times

Scott Kempin: If you are a United fan, the only result is a United win. Liverpool won't have won the league because of us, they'll have won it because they've performed the best of the rest. We need top 4. And that means beating City. Leave it to the 2 of them to scrap it out. Take care of our business first.

The team sheets aren't even with the referee yet but according to the Daily Mirror, external this is Manchester United's starting XI for tonight:

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Young, Pereira, Fred, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford

Surely that can't be right.....?

Manchester United's players trained at the Cliff - their old training ground - this morning.

United left the venue for Carrington in 2000 but boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hoped seeing where United legends were formed would help inspire the team.

That guy loves United's history, doesn't he? Wonder how much the Cliff means to Fred or Matteo Darmian.
