Manchester Citylineup
Aymeric Laporte’s long-awaited return from a knee injury will be a huge help for the Citizens, especially considering that John Stones was forced to leave England’s draw with Germany due to a tight hamstring.Because of his extended absence, Laporte has settled for time off the bench, as Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake continue to start in the heart of the defense for Guardiola, who will also be missing Kalvin Phillips for many weeks as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
Pep Guardiola now has a healthy option at right back in Kyle Walker, making up for Stones’ absence, and Haaland has a chance to make history by scoring a hat trick in three straight Premier League home games this weekend.
Manchester City starting XI:
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Aké, Cancelo; Bernardo Silva, Gündogan, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Grealish.
Manchester Unitedlineup
Both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashfordhad been out with injuries. However, this week, they have returned to training with the rest of the group, raising the possibility that they could be available for selection in Sunday’s derby.Rashford is healthy and ready to play, and he will start in place of Cristiano Ronaldo up top.
Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez were always anticipated to start together at center defence sinceHarry Maguire had a rough experience with England and ended up returning to Manchester with a tight hamstring. The Red Devils have already been dealing with a plethora of injuries (Martin Dubravka, Donny van de Beek, Brandon Williams, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka), so Ten HagchooseScott McTominay over Casemiro.
Manchester Unitedstarting XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martínez, Malacia; McTominay, Eriksen; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford.
