Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is set to make his peace with captain Vincent Kompany by re-calling him to the starting line-up for Sunday's derby at Manchester United. Provided there is no injury concerns this morning, the 29-year-old Belgium international will lead his side out at Old Trafford having been relegated to the bench for City's last two matches against Bournemouth and Sevilla. The City boss hopes it will draw a line under the recent bust-up with Kompany, who has not started a club game since injuring his calf against Juventus on September 15. Pellegrini was angry that Kompany then played a Euro 2016 qualifier for his country against Israel even though he insisted in public that his dispute was with the Belgian FA rather than the player.Vincent Kompany set to lead his Manchester City side out at Old TraffordThe Belgian captain has not started a club game since injuring his calf against Juventus on September 15Manuel Pellegrini hopes to draw a line under recent bust-up with Kompany

Most of the action in the Hollywood blockbuster 'The Martian' is set at the 'Ares 3' site in on Mars' southern Acidalia Planitia. The film depicts Acidalia as flat landscape that's smooth enough for stranded astronaut Mark Watney to drive over with relative ease. In reality, however, this region of Mars is far more rugged and hazardous than Ridley Scott's film suggests, according to a newly-released image by Nasa. The film, based on the book with the same title by Andy Weir, stars Matt Damon as Watney, an astronaut who is stranded on Mars after a storm causes an evacuation of his crew's habitat.Ares 3 on Acidalia Planitia is smooth in the film, but in reality images show a rough and hazardous terrainAres 4 in Arabia Terra is shown as rugged, but is in fact, relatively smooth, according to the space agencyBut overall, the film's depiction of Martian landscape is remarkably similar to images sent back by CuriosityDespite it taking place 20 years in the future, Nasa is already developing many of the technologies in the film
