Man City host Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium this weekend in another instalment of the two sides’ legendary rivalry. The Manchester Derby will once more dominate media coverage, be the centre of attention, and hopefully deliver a special moment like it has so many other times.

Manchester City is currently 2nd in the English Premier League, one point behind Arsenal, and has been the league’s best team thus far. The Citizens have five victories and two draws and have scored 23 goals, which is the highest in the league, while conceding only six (the least in the EPL).

With four straight Premier League victories, Erik ten Hag’s team is also on a roll. The Dutchman hopes to continue their winning streak by picking up three points on the rival team’s home ground. United has kept three clean sheets in the last five competitions, and their defence has improved significantly.

After having knee surgery last season, Aymeric Laporte is a regular absentee for the Cityzens. For Guardiola’s team, Stones is the other injured player. Manuel Akanji is likely to start and make his Manchester Derby debut.

Manchester United’s first two games saw a lot of substitutions and lineup changes, but now a stable team is putting up solid shows and getting results. Rashford and Anthony experienced minor injuries, but they should be back. Van de Beek and Martial are in a similar condition, with bleak chances of returning to the pitch.

City starts as the overwhelming favourite and expects Haaland to be on the Scoresheet. Despite their recent solid performances and successful outcomes, it would be remarkable if they could salvage something from the Etihad.
