The Manchester derby on Super Sunday may not be as pivotal in the title race as in previous seasons, but it still remains one of the biggest games in the Premier League calendar with both teams keen to get one over their city rivals. The key to who comes out on top in the 171st derby in all competitions could be the form of the two goalkeepers, who have become mainstays of this fixture in recent seasons.Since joining Manchester United in the summer of 2011, only David De Gea and his Man City counterpart, Joe Hart, have played every minute of all nine Premier League meetings. In those games, it is clearly the England international who comes out on top with more clean sheets and fewer goals conceded than his opposite number.

The 28-year-old, who has won the Golden Glove award for most clean sheets a record four times, again tops that ranking, with De Gea joint-third. 2015/16 Premier League clean sheets Player Team Clean sheets Joe Hart Man City 13 Petr Cech Arsenal 12 Jack Butland Stoke 10 David de Gea Man Utd 10 Heurelho Gomes Watford 10 Hugo Lloris Tottenham 10 Kasper Schmeichel Leicester 10 While the importance of Hart to Manuel Pellegrinis team cannot be underestimated, the same is true for De Geas importance to United. Since returning to the side after signing a new deal with the club in September, the 25-year-old is the only United player to start every Premier League game. Its quite some statistic given Louis van Gaal has used a league high 33 different players this season.

Indeed, no player has scored more Premier League goals against De Gea than the Argentina international (seven). Joe Hart of Manchester City and David De Gea of Manchester United By contrast, Hart will be happy Wayne Rooney is absent with a knee injury as no player has scored more league goals against him than the England captain (six).Both Manchester teams have been involved in a Premier League high five goalless draws this season, due in no small part to the form of their respective goalkeepers. Another clean sheet would be welcomed by both custodians, but the viewing public will be hoping at least one of the goalkeepers will be beaten on to extend a run of no consecutive goalless draws in this fixture that has stood since 1973-74.Watch the Manchester derby live on Sky Sports 1HD from 3.30pm on Super Sunday Also See: Stats show Kompany concern 2016 Premier League table Bobby Orr Jersey .

Connor Cook went 13-for-25 for 180 yards with one touchdown and one interception for the Spartans (10-2, 7-1 Big Ten), who won their final three games after a loss to Ohio State kept them from battling for the Big Ten championship. I thought that was a tremendous job by our football team today, said Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio. The benchmark has become 10 wins at Michigan State four out of the last five years so a tremendous accomplishment by them. Akeel Lynch had a rushing touchdown while Christian Hackenberg was 21-for-45 for 195 yards along with an interception and a lost fumble for the Nittany Lions (6-6, 2-6), who lost their last two games of the regular season. I think the game really just comes down to we had an opportunity to make some plays, said Penn State head coach James Franklin. We werent able to do that and had some critical mistakes. It didnt take long for the Spartans to take the lead, as R.J. Shelton broke a couple of tackles on the opening kickoff and raced down the right side for a 90-yard score and a 7-0 lead. Penn State attempted a 51-yard field goal on its ensuing possession, but Sam Ficken was well short, and Michigan State took advantage of the short field to get a 36-yard field goal from Michael Geiger with 8:41 to play in the first. The Lions had to punt on their next touch, and the Spartans were able to move 58 yards over the next nine plays. The drive stalled at the Penn State 22, and Geigger hit a 39-yard field goal for a 13-0 lead late in the first.dddddddddddd Benefiting in field position after exchanging punts, the Lions were able to get on the board as Ficken was good from 41 yards out to make it a 13-3 game with 4 1/2 minutes to play in the half. The Lions then had a chance to cut further into their deficit as Anthony Zettel picked off a Cook pass. Getting down to the Michigan State 23, Hackenberg threw a pass into the end zone that was tipped into the hand of Trae Waynes as the Spartans held on to a 10-point lead at the break. Penn State had to punt on the opening possession of the second half, with the Spartans getting the ball back at their own 37. Cook completed passes of 25 yards to Keith Mumphery and 31 yards to Macgarrett Kings Jr. to get the ball to the PSU 5, and Langford ran it in from three yards out on third down for a 20-3 lead. Hackenberg had the ball stripped out of his hands on the Lions ensuing touch, and Michigan State recovered at the PSU 18. Five plays later, Cook found Tony Lippett in the end zone for a 27-3 lead. The Lions answered the score with one of their own, as the team moved 79 yards over 10 plays, with Lynch taking an inside handoff three yards into the end zone to make it a 27-10 game late in the third quarter. Penn State later failed on a 4th-and-20 in its own territory, and Langford put the game away with a 6-yard score. Game Notes Langford eclipsed 100 yards for a ninth straight game, eclipsing his own school record ... The series between these two schools now sits at 14-14-1 ... Michigan State controlled the ball for almost 35 minutes. ' ' '
