Premiership Table:


-----------------------------------------------------


Poor old

have taken just one point from their travels this season.
What's more, they've not even hit the back of the net away from home.
Rams fans won't have fond memories of Old Trafford, either – last time Derby were here the Reds blasted five past them.


Form guide:


have endured five straight losses, although new manager Paul Jewell was unlucky not to earn a point last weekend against Roy Keane's Sunderland.

Meanwhile,

got back to winning ways in the league on Monday night against Fulham after losing to Bolton a week earlier.


Ins and outs:





Wayne Rooney
should start his second straight match after being sidelined with an ankle injury, but there are no fresh concerns for Sir Alex.

Similarly, Derby County are only missing

Andy Todd
He's out with a back injury.


Star men:



Scottish striker

Kenny Miller
is sharp, full of running and could make life difficult for Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.


The Rams, meanwhile, will be looking to stop

Cristiano Ronaldo
who's been in a rich vein of form for the last month or so.

in pursuit of table toppers Arsenal, from their 99th competitive meeting with Derby County.

Manchester United hold a 50% winning record against Derby in the Premier League (six of 12).
