Manchester derby: Debuts for Evra, Riera

Patrice Evra and Albert Riera were thrown into the cauldron of Manchester derby day at Eastlands as Alex Ferguson and Stuart Pearce handed the pair their debuts.

Riera, who joined City on loan from Espanyol, took up the left-sided midfield berth for the Blues, while Evra, who cost Ferguson £5million to capture from Monaco started at left-back in a Red Devils side lacking Alan Smith and Wes Brown.
