Manchester United vs Manchester City Team News and Key Players

Manchester United enter a new era under Michael Carrick, who was appointed just days ago. The Red Devils are boosted by the return of Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo from international duty, though they remain without the injured Matthijs de Ligt and the suspended Shea Lacey. United have struggled for consistency lately, winning just one of their last six matches, but they remain a formidable side at Old Trafford.

Manchester City arrive in strong form but face a defensive crisis. Pep Guardiola will be without key centre-backs Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Josko Gvardiol due to injuries. Despite these absences, City are on a 13-game unbeaten streak across all competitions and recently secured a dominant FA Cup win. The focus will be on Erling Haaland, who currently leads the league's scoring charts, as he looks to exploit a reshuffled United backline.
