De Jong doubtful for City

Manchester City midfielder Nigel De Jong is doubtful for the derby against Manchester United tomorrow because of an ankle injury.

However defender Micah Richards has recovered from a similar problem and comes into contention at Old Trafford.

Striker Mario Balotelli could return after a four-week absence with a knee injury which followed his hat-trick against Aston Villa.

Provisional squad: Hart, Given, Zabaleta, Richards, Boateng, K Toure, Kompany, Boyata, Kolarov, Lescott, Wright-Phillips, De Jong, Vieira, Milner, Y Toure, Silva, Barry, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli, Jo, Guidetti.
