Fans will be desperate to experience this huge game and the rivalry between the red and blue halves of Manchester, with so much riding on this fixture even at this relatively early stage of the season.

For Ruben Amorim, it’s a first taste of a United vs City clash since he recently came in to replace Erik ten Hag as manager, though it’s not his first encounter with Pep Guardiola this season.

Amorim was still in charge of Sporting Lisbon when they hosted City in the Champions League recently, beating them 4-1 in a surprise result that has formed part of this awful run for the reigning Premier League champions.

Can Amorim win against Guardiola again or will City get their season back on track?

How Man City could line up against Man United

City continue to have their injury problems as Rodri is out for probably the rest of the season, while there have also been some fitness concerns with the likes of Mateo Kovacic and Phil Foden.

Still, the latter of those two are now reportedly back in training, so that should give them time to recover for this big game.

An interesting selection decision to look out for will be what Guardiola does with his goalkeeper after recently preferring Stefan Ortega over Ederson, though without much of an improvement in results.

Man City predicted line up: Ortega; Walker, Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol; Gundogan, Kovacic, Foden, De Bruyne, Nunes; Haaland

Now lining up under Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation, it will be interesting to see what Amorim decides to do in terms of personnel for this game after a lot of rotation so far.

The Portuguese tactician took a bit of a risk that didn’t pay off when he rested some big names for the game away to Arsenal, and he surely won’t make the same mistake here.

Luke Shaw only recently returned from injury but is now out again, while it also remains to be seen if Leny Yoro will be fit enough for this game.

Man United predicted line up: Onana; De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui; Diallo, Dalot, Mainoo, Ugarte; Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

How to buy Man City tickets

Manchester City tickets aren’t that easy to come by, but most fans will likely be aware of the established route of purchasing via the club’s official channels here.

This is, however, restricted to members, who have to pay a fee of £25 a year for their membership, so City fans might also want to look elsewhere, with livefootballtickets.com our recommendation for a trustworthy, reliable, and easy-to-use alternative.

City vs United head-to-head record

City certainly have the upper hand in terms of recent trophies and success, but when it comes to the head-to-head records in these clubs’ histories, it’s still in United’s favour.

The Red Devils have won 79 derbies, whereas the Sky Blues are on 62 victories in total, while there have been 53 draws.

City have enjoyed more wins in recent derbies, including some big score-lines such as 6-3 and 4-1, though United did surprise their rivals with a 2-1 win in the FA Cup final back in May.
