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.

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

Here are the manager's main comments from his interview with Sky Sports and post-match press conference: ‘IT WAS A CLEAR PENALTY’ “Clear penalty. I'm sorry for us, I'm sorry for Michael [Oliver, the referee]; I think he had a good performance but it's a clear penalty. The referee made a mistake, which can happen.

Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind  Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says the chance to make history is not playing on his mind as he prepares for Sunday's derby with rivals Manchester United. If City win the game it will be their 14th league victory in a row - a record in a single Premier League season. However, Guardiola says his focus is only on developing a strategy to beat Jose Mourinho's side. "The record will be broken, my concern is how we win the game," he said. "If you play one game thinking about records you forget what you have to do." This is the first derby since April 2013 where the two clubs occupy the top two positions in the table. If City win at Old Trafford they will move 11 points clear while United would close the gap to five with victory. Guardiola believes it is far too early to suggest the match could be a title decider. "Winning, drawing or losing on Sunday, we
