David de Gea has backed Manchester United to beat Manchester City on Sunday

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is confident his side can put an end to Manchester City's winning streak on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
City will equal Arsenal's Premier League record of 14 consecutive wins with victory Old Trafford on Sunday, but head into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, their first since April.
United's 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday leveled a club a record of 40 games without loss at Old Trafford and De Gea believes his side can continue their impressive run on Sunday.
De Gea, speaking exclusively to Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry on Nissan Match Zone, said: "Can City stop United? We play at home with the fans.
"It's a derby, we have confidence, we feel really strong and we want to win.
"The team is in a good moment, we won two difficult away games so we have confidence and we know we play an important game. We really want to win."
Mourinho heaped praise on the Spaniard following last Saturday's 3-1 win over Arsenal, labeling De Gea as the best keeper in the world after he made a league record 14 saves against the Gunners.
De Gea admitted he felt unbeatable against Arsene Wenger's side last weekend as he secured a league-high ninth clean sheet for the season ahead of City stopper Ederson in second with seven.
United head into Sunday's game without midfielder Paul Poga, who was handed a three-match suspension after receiving a red card against Arsenal, and Juan Mata believes his side will miss the French international.

Paul Pogba has come in for criticism from Liverpool legend and pundit Graeme Souness  Graeme Souness has launched a scathing attack on  Paul Pogba  and believes the   Manchester United  man lacks the nous to become a world-class central midfielder. The  France star  has been pivotal in United's recent resurgence after returning from a hamstring injury last month and impressed in the 3-1 win over Arsenal at the weekend before he was sent off. But it appears the Liverpool legend is not convinced that Pogba possesses the necessary defensive qualities to master the position. Souness told Irish broadcaster  TV3  during the 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night: 'When he is on the ball, there are lots of things to admire. He's powerful, he's got the good technique, he can wrong foot people, he can ping the ball. 'This isn't me being an ex-Liverpool player caning a Man United player. I thought the same when he was a Juventus player.' The 64

Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into retiring Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho forced Mark Clattenburg into quitting his role as a referee after criticising him in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Stoke last season. Clattenburg stunned football last season when he quit being a referee in order to work in Saudi Arabia. The 42-year-old has recently opened up about his decision, and also dropped major bombshells about Chelsea and Tottenham. And now, Clattenburg has revealed he made the call to quit refereeing because of Mourinho, who blasted him after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Stoke last term. Wayne Rooney scored a thunderbolt free-kick to secure a point for the Red Devils but Mourinho was livid at  Manchester United ’s failure to be given a penalty. And Clattenburg says it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. "I was refereeing the game when Wayne Rooney broke Bobby Charlton's record and Mourinho came into my dressing room and he was
