Mark Clattenburg will take charge of the Manchester derby on Sunday -- in a season that has already seen him send off three players from Manchester United and Manchester City.
Clattenburg sent off United centre-back Tyler Blackett in the 5-3 defeat to Leicester in September and left-back Luke Shaw during the 1-1 draw with West Ham in February.
Although Clattenburg has not dismissed any of Pellegrini's men during a City game, club captain Vincent Kompany was sent off by the official in Belgium's 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win against Israel last month.

Clattenburg will be joined on Sunday at Old Trafford by assistants Simon Beck and Jake Collin, while Jonathan Moss will take on the role of fourth official.
United and City currently sit third and fourth respectively in the Premier League table with just one point separating the two sides.
