Derby selection poser

The MEN today takes a look at the possibilities available to Stuart Pearce as he mulls over his selection and tactics ahead of Saturday's derby.

Although I'll take a more in depth look at the game later in the week, I cannot see too many surprises as I expect Pearce to line up with a similair 4-5-1 formation as we saw against Liverpool recently, with Corradi operating as a lone striker.

The only debate I guess will be whether to once again push Micah Richards into midfield with Nedum Onouha slotting in at right-back, although the temptation must be to possibly bring in Didi Hamman and leave Richards to go up against Giggs and Ronaldo.
