On Sunday, Manchester United pay a visit to Manchester City, hoping to take advantage of their rivals’ recent dip in form. To do that, of course, they’ll need the strongest side available. Unfortunately, Radamel Falcao will continue to miss out. But Wayne Rooney is fit!

— Manchester United (@ManUtd) October 31, 2014 Rooney missed the last three matches due to suspension, after aiming a kick at Stewart Downing (c’mon, don’t tell me you’ve never been tempted). He was seen limping earlier this week, but now that he’s confirmed fit, he’ll almost certainly start against City.
As for Falcao, well, apparently the knock he was carrying last week is more serious than first thought. But after Robin van Persie finally hit the net against Chelsea, perhaps it doesn’t matter that the pricey Colombian isn’t set to go?
