Man City vs Man United: Team News, Injury Updates

Despite having an injury-free squad Pep Guardiola will miss the service of all the Euro 2024 finalists, i.e.; John Stones, Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Rodri. Erling Haaland and Ederson are back to the squad after recovering from the minor niggles. Newly signed Savinho can be featured in this match.

Haaland has been in great form and scored a hattrick against Chelsea in the last match and has a great record against United also, with being involved in nine goals.

On the other hand, Manchester United will miss their main centre-forward Rasmus Hojlund and recently signed centre-back Leny Yoro due to injury. Newly signed forward Joshua Zirkzee may make his debut in this match.

United’s fate will be heavily dependent on the performances of their midfielders mainly Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo. In defence, Lisandro Martinez will most probably be paired up with Victor Lindelof or Harry Maguire. Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot could be the most probable options in the left and right back positions.
