Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho says he'll be fit for the derby against Manchester United on Thursday.

United will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo - who are out for the season - while Paul Pogba will have a late fitness test.

But City have been handed a huge injury boost, with star man Fernandinho ready to play.

“I believe I can recover very well by Thursday and should be 100% for the game," he said.

“It's a decisive game, they are behind us by one point and they won their game today on Sunday. We are fighting for a place in the Champions League.

“I believe it will be a similar game to [the Arsenal clash], with high intensity, with both teams trying their best to win the game and I hope we will have more luck this time."
