Man United vs Man City lineups

Manchester City vs Manchester United live: Erling Haaland is set for his Manchester derby debut when the champs host the rapidly improving Red Devils.

While picking up the four straight victories, the Dutchman has also settled on a midfield setup with Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen operating in (effectively) a double pivot with Bruno Fernandes the most advanced of the three. Rodri’s absence for Man City threatened an opening for United but the midfield duo of Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen were left without a rudder by Erik ten Hag (See what we learned, above). With space in behind (and the proper service from deep), Ten Hag might just have his first winning formula (albeit quite unlike him). That’s not to say it’s been easy as Manchester City go through a tactical shift of their own to better appeal to the big Norwegian’s poaching abilities. Each of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Fernandes have scored twice during the winning run, with new boy Antony also getting in on the fun on his debut. To win at home and score six goals here, it’s nice. Erling and I have built a connection, just finding each other.” It did not lose a meaningful European match nor trail after a leg of the knockout rounds. Eriksen’s defensive skills weren’t up for the task and left McTominay running around like a maniac. Erling Haaland is on fire, and every single Premier League defense should be terrified. Haaland now has 14 goals through eight Premier League games, 18 off the league record for a 38-game season set by Mohamed Salah in 2017-18. Man Utd has played one fewer match.

Manchester Joined is right now in the fifth spot in the Chief Association standings and has worked on after an unfortunate beginning to their mission.

Manchester City has won their last seven Chief Association matches at the Etihad Arena and have scored somewhere around three objectives in every one of these games. manchester Joined has lost a sum of 17 matches against Manchester City in the Head Association – they have experienced more association overcomes just against Chelsea and Liverpool. manchester City is hoping to win three sequential matches against Manchester Joined interestingly since a run of four triumphs in 2014.

Manchester City are without John Stones and Rodri for today's huge derby with Manchester United in the Premier League.

Hopefully he can be back in time to go to the World Cup and after be back with us.” He said: “He feels good, the surgery was good. He is closing in on a return, though this weekend has come too soon.

It is the Manchester derby showdown on Sunday, as Manchester United make the small trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.

The Dane’s creativity and link up with Bruno Fernandes will be crucial in unlocking the rigid City backline at the weekend. Ten Hag will be torn between Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial should the duo pass the fitness test. The double-pivot of Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay has blossomed in recent games, giving the Red Devils some stability in midfield. Ten Hag has finally settled on a stable back four and is unlikely to make alterations when picking his side on Sunday. They lie fifth in the table, five points behind Man City but with a game in hand. Martial sustained an Achilles injury against Liverpool last month and hasn’t played since while Rashford suffered a muscle injury in Man United’s 3-1 win over Arsenal before the international break.
