We asked Soccer Saturday pundit Matt Le Tissier to pick his best combined XI from Manchester City and Manchester Uniteds squads ahead of the derby on Super Sunday. Black Friday Jerseys . Manuel Pellegrinis men will be looking to keep their title hopes alive and hand a major blow to Utds top-four ambitions with a victory in the live Sky Sports fixture.Both sides have struggled to meet expectations this season and Le Tiss has opted to leave out the under-performing Yaya Toure and a couple of Utds key players. Fantasy Six-A-Side The Manchester derby is this weeks Fantasy Six-a-Side fixture. Pick your team here. Based on form this season, heres who the Southampton legend has picked... GOALKEEPER - David de GeaHes the best goalkeeper in the Premier League for me and Manchester Uniteds most consistent performer. Theyd be nowhere near the top four if it wasnt for him.RIGHT-BACK - Bacary SagnaTrying to pick a best right-back really highlights how poor theyve both been. Matteo Darmian looked decent but hes not really played enough due to injuries. so Im going with Sagna as the best of a bad bunch.CENTRE-BACK - Vincent KompanyHes not really recaptured the form seen at the start of the season when City looked like they were going to romp it. His latest injury setback ends their slender title hopes for me as the other options just havent been anywhere near good enough. Wilmots: Two months out for Kompany Vincent Kompany could be out for up to eight weeks, Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has said. CENTRE-BACK - Chris SmallingHes been one of the more consistent performers for United but Im still not keen on his defending from set-pieces, with the tendency to grapple with his man. Daley Blind has also been decent but Smalling edges it.LEFT-BACK - Aleksandar KolarovIts not until you sit down and go through the sides that you realise how bad theyve been! Kolarov is once again the best of a bad bunch and hes certainly not been outstanding, especially defensively. Luke Shaw started the season really well but hes not played enough games for me to consider him. CENTRAL-MIDFIELD - Michael CarrickHes still England and Uniteds best central-midfielder for me. Neither Morgan Schneiderlin nor Bastian Schweinsteiger have covered themselves in glory since arriving at Old Trafford, so Im going with the 34-year-old, who also deserves to be in the England squad. Le Tiss Six-a-Side team Find out who makes Le Tiss Fantasy Six-a-Side team here. CENTRAL-MIDFIELD - FernandinhoHe started the season really well and has been pretty consistent, despite being played out on the right at times. Id have him over Yaya Toure right now as Toure is having probably the most disappointing campaign of his City career.ATTACKING-MIDFIELD - Kevin de BruyneHis injury was a huge blow and could well prove the difference between them being champions and missing out. Despite being ruled out since January hes still scored five goals and provided nine assists.ATTACKING-MIDFIELD - Juan MataI think Mata is still underrated and hes chipped in with some really important goals. Hes been more consistent this season but has still not hit the heights of his peak at Chelsea. Man Utds Juan Mata makes the cut ATTACKING-MIDFIELD - David SilvaHes clearly not found his best form since returning from injury but it saying something that hes still provided 10 assists this season. STRIKER - Sergio AgueroTheres absolutely no doubt about my striker, hes simply world class. He may not be the top goalscorer in the Premier League but thats more down to playing time as hes got a better goals-per-minute record than Jamie Vardy, Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku. Hes probably the one City player who has actually played to their potential this season.Think you know better than Le Tiss? Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side team for the Manchester derby here.

He could have been talking about his own team, too.EDMONTON -- The San Jose Sharks may not have been all that sharp to start after playing the night before, but that changed once the puck dropped for the second period. Trailing by a goal after 20 minutes of play, Joe Pavelski responded with three goals and an assist as the Sharks snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. "I think after back-to-back nights and not having a morning skate and things like that, youre probably going to be a little sluggish," said Sharks captain Joe Thornton, who had two assists on the night. "We continued to get better and better and it was a good way to end the night. As long as were moving around, moving the puck around, were going to be successful." Patrick Marleau and Marty Havlat also scored for the Sharks (47-18-9), who moved four points up on idle Anaheim for the Pacific Division lead and remained two points back of St. Louis for first in the Western Conference. San Jose clinched a playoff spot in a 2-1 shootout loss to Calgary on Monday. The Sharks power play came into the game ranked just 23rd in the league and had gone just three-for-35 in its last 10 games. They were 3-for-3 against the Oilers, a major factor in the victory. "The numbers arent that important, its when they come and how they come," said Sharks head coach Todd McLellan. "Weve had nights like this and it just hasnt gone in. When you look at the power play standings and the numbers and that type of stuff, you panic over it outside the room, but not inside the room. We finally got a reward for playing basically the same way that we have." "I think weve been bad for a long time and in the last few games weve created a little bit of momentum on it," said Pavelski, who had two of the power play goals for his club. "It hasnt been one game and then take a couple of games off, weve been consistent on our opportunities and tonight it just finally went in for us." David Perron and Taylor Hall responded for the second-to-last place Oilers (25-39-9), who have lost three in a row, including a humbling 8-1 loss to the rival Calgary Flames on Sunday on the heels of a 3-1 defeat to the last-place Buffalo Sabres. "We wanted to come back and play solid after our last couple games and get back to the stuff that we had been having some success with," said Oilers captain Andrew Ference. "The power play chances they got, they jumped on and put us behind the eight ball. I think our five-on-five hockey was light years better than our last game. That wasnt too tough to beat, though." Edmonton head coach Dallas Eakins said his team left far too many missed opportunities on the table. "We have to find a way to bury the chances that we have, and there were some that were just laying there in front of their net," he said. "You just have to find a way to put those in." Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens said the team remains very much a work in progress. "We need to show to ourselves that we can play the right way," he said. "I dont know what it is that we refuse to buy in completely. Its not one guy, a line, a defence pairing. Its just kind of waves throughout the team. Its not wanting to do what we have to do. We had some tough bounces tonight that probably added to the scoring differential. You cant give a team like that the chances on the power play because they have skilled guys who will make you pay and they did tonight. Stitched Jerseys. ." The Oilers started the scoring just over four minutes into the first period as Perron danced around Shark Tyler Kennedy before picking a perfect spot on a shot past San Jose goalie Antti Niemi. It was Perrons team-leading 26th goal of the season. The first period shots narrowly favoured the Sharks, who had 11 on Edmonton starter Scrivens to the Oilers 10 in the opening period. San Jose tied the game on the power play six-and-a-half-minutes into the second period. Scrivens made the initial stop on a shot from the slot by Marleau, but the rebound angled to Pavelski at the side of the net with a wide-open cage to put in his 35th of the year. Another power-play goal midway through the second period gave San Jose a 2-1 lead, as Pavelski chopped a puck to Marleau at the top of the opposite circle and the Sharks assistant captains lighting-quick release led to a goal before Scrivens could get across. It was Marleaus 31st goal of the year. The Sharks took a two-goal lead with 30 seconds left to play in the middle period as Edmonton defender Jeff Petry overskated a puck at his own blue-line, allowing Havlat to come in and send a wrist shot that beat Scrivens stick-side. San Jose scored their third man-advantage goal of the game just over a minute into the third period. Pavelski got the puck with space in the front of the net, waited for defender Andrew Ference to go down, and then beat Scrivens over the blocker to make it 4-1. Pavelski earned his third hat trick of the season with seven minutes left in the third as he took a shot that hit the stick of Edmontons Matt Hendricks and deflected into the Oilers net. Pavelskis four-point night gave him 71 points on the season. Edmonton made it look a little better with five minutes left to play as Hall picked up a rebound in front and hooked a diving backhand shot into the net for this 25th to make it 5-2. The Oilers have been outscored 16-4 in their last three home games. The Sharks return home to face the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Oilers play the fifth game of a six-game homestand on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. Notes: It was the fourth of five games this season between the two teams this season. The Sharks won the first two games before the Oilers got one back in the most recent meeting on Jan. 29 when Ben Scrivens recorded a record-setting 59 saves in a 3-0 shutout win in Edmontona Both teams were coming off of losses to the Calgary Flames, although of vastly different degrees.
