Key Men

Manchester City

Erling Haaland has been in a rich vein of form this season and will once again be Man City’s most potent weapon up top.

Both Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva need to have a good game if the home team want to secure a convincing win in the derby.

Manchester United

David de Gea will be expected to make a few world-class stops if Man United are to have any chance of earning something from this game. The defensive performance of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane could go a long way in deciding the fate of this Manchester derby.

On the offensive end, Jadon Sancho will have to carry some of the goal-scoring workload for the Red Devils down the left flank, especially if Marcus Rashford fails to recover in time for this game.
