The first Manchester derby is upon us and the two clubs have a sense of equality to them that has not existed in the past few seasons now. Erik Ten Hag may have not turned the fortunes of his new club but there is no denying his side can fight at the biggest level. With Manchester United already beating Arsenal and Liverpool so far, their record against the big six is good and they will be raring to face Manchester City at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola showered his praises on Erik Ten Hag in the build-up to the game and there is great mutual respect between the managers. The players on the pitch though would be different with the rivalry top of the agenda. Cristiano Ronaldo Poses for a Selfie With a Manchester United Fan Ahead of a Premier League Game vs Manchester City (See Pic)

John Stones was injured in the draw against Germany featuring for England which means Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias will form the center-back pairing for the home side. Erling Haaland is a goal scoring machine and United will have to be at their very best to stop him from putting the ball in the back of the net. Phil Foden and Jack Grealish alongside Kevin de Bruyne will provide the creative outflow for Manchester City.

Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have both returned to first team training for Manchester United which is a positive news for the visitors. Scott McTominay is likely to get the nod ahead of Casemiro once again and will partner Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen in the midfield. Raphael Varane and Lisandro Matinez are the most talked about defensive pairing in the league at the moment and if United are to succeed today, the duo will have to be at their very best. Erling Haaland Arrives at Manchester City Training Ground Ahead of Manchester Derby (Watch Video).
