Team news
Ilkay Gundogan returns from suspension, but is unlikely to start here given the form of Rodri.
Angelino could keep his spot in the team with Benjamin Mendy enduring a difficult season.
Manchester United are likely to name the same XI that beat Tottenham, meaning Mason Greenwood will lead the line.
Neither Paul Pogba or Anthony Martial have been ruled out, however it’s very unlikely either will be fit to start.
Expected starting XI’s
Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Fernandinho, Angelino; De Bruyne, Rodri, D.Silva; B.Silva, Jesus, Sterling
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Young; McTominay, Fred; James, Lingard, Rashford; Greenwood
