David Seaman has been passed fit to play in tomorrow’s 129th Manchester league derby.
The former England keeper limped out of Sunday’s goalless draw with Everton after suffering a recurrence of a rib injury but has come through training without a problem and will play at Old Trafford.
Midfield trio Eyal Berkovic, Antoine Sibierski and Paul Bosvelt all impressed on reserve team duty in midweek, although City boss Kevin Keegan is not expected to make too many changes despite going seven games without a win.
Squad: Seaman, Ellegaard, Schmeichel, Distin, Dunne, Sommeil, Wiekens, Jihai, Bosvelt, Berkovic, McManaman, Sinclair, Reyna, Tarnat, Sibierski, Barton, Anelka, Fowler, Wanchope, Macken, Jordan.
