Predicted Manchester City line-up to face Manchester United

Champions Manchester City welcome city rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium in this season’s first Manchester derby. The Cityzens are leading the table with two points thus far and again build themselves a team to beat under Pep Guardiola.

They thrashed Southampton 6-1 in their previous league game, while drubbing Shakhtar Donetsk 6-0 in the Champions League. United also got a very important result when they came from behind to beat Juventus in Turin. That result is certain to give them a huge lift ahead of an all-important derby game against the rivals.

Ilkay Gundogan and Nicolas Otamendi are ready if required for the weekend. Kevin de Bruyne is out, probably till December.
