Man United go into Sunday's clash as underdogs but the gap between the clubs has narrowed due to Manchester City's flagging form in recent games.
But they could attempt to replicate what Kane did, in terms of playing City at their own game - dropping deep to lure out the centre backs and then playing balls in behind for their pace merchants. That Spurs win in particular will have come under scrutiny by Ralf Rangnick and his staff, as evidence that City are not the invulnerable winning machine that their previous run of 14 wins and a draw from 15 games, had made them out to be. The Blues won four out of seven derbies at home and then pulled off a famous Old Trafford victory through Benjani's winner, all when the Reds were at the height of their powers.
Pep Guardiola has made six changes to his starting lineup for this evening's FA Cup Fifth Round tie away at Peterborough.
Kevin De Bruyne has assisted three FA Cup goals in his two appearances this season, with only Nathanael Ogebta (4 – all for Shrewsbury) registering more. The Posh’s only appearance at the quarter-final stage was back in 1965. City have a squad with depth and quality few clubs can match.

Three of Peterborough’s previous four FA Cup ties at the fifth round stage have gone to a replay – in 1964-65, 1974-75 and 1985-86 – with the only one not going to a replay a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in 1981. Which is why heavy rotation has been employed this evening.

Manchester City go into the clash on the back of two below-par wins over Everton and Peterborough United whereas United will need to clear their minds of the disappointing Watford stalemate.

Ralf Rangnick could reap the rewards of taking a leaf from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's book when Manchester United face bitter rivals Manchester City on away turf this weekend. “We have to be positive, we’re a positive team," he added. United will hold on to their place in the Premier League's top four by claiming the spoils against City, who currently sit three points clear of second-placed Liverpool at the top of the division.
Man United and Man City are both interested in Erling Haaland and the Dortmund have provided an update on the player.
"What we don't want is to cause a relapse. The 21-year-old has already dealt with four injuries this season, which means he's been unavailable for a total of 89 days. Haaland has established himself as Europe's most exciting striker in recent seasons and he has 80 goals in 79 appearances for the German club.

City are, of course, 5-0 up from the first leg in Portugal. Just like Messi!" The first half saw City's play riddled with errors, our usual free-flowing football deserting us. "It’s unbelievable. It’s funny because before the game I was on the coach and I sit next to him and we were on Twitter and we saw a video of Messi's best passes. With City top of the Premier League table and still in the UEFA Champions League, we retain an interest in three competitions with three months of the season remaining.
