Man City might be hovering around the top of the table but they have not been at their fluent best this season. Yet. Boss Pep Guardiola would love a stand-out performance against local rivals and will surely be looking to Erling Haaland to provide the goals – as he did in Wednesday's Champions League win over Young Boys.

The Red Devils have had a troubled season so far. However, a dramatic late penalty save by Andre Onana in the Champions League on Tuesday will give the under-pressure 'keeper some confidence. That 1-0 win against Copenhagen will relieve the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag too.

Man Utd fullbacks Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are still some way from being fit. Sergio Reguilon is available from the bench. In midfield, we will be treated to a battle between Casemeiro and Rodri. The former is expected to have recovered from an ankle injury, the latter returned last week following suspension.

Here's how the line up:

Man Utd: Onana; Lindelof, Evans, Maguire, Dalot; Amrabat, McTominay, Eriksen; Fernandes, Hojlund, Rashford

Man City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol; Rodri, Bernardo, Alvarez; Foden, Haaland, Grealish

The Citizens have lost on their last 2 visits to Old Trafford. Surely, it won’t happen for a third time in a row? Make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out our full how to watch Premier League live streams hub.
