The first Manchester derby of the season is set to take place, with both clubs looking to prove themselves. Manchester City have recovered from a string of losses, while Manchester United have been plagued by turmoil. United have managed to secure three consecutive wins, but all have been hard-fought.

It's the big one. The first Manchester derby of the season. A match will be a yardstick of where both clubs currently stand.

United have managed to cobble three wins on the spin together but all of them required emotional late drama to scrape past teams they should comfortably be beating. For United, the match could either continue to build the budding momentum or see it come crashing down to earth if they are humbled. That leaves just three selection dilemmas for Guardiola and three spots up for grabs in the side. One of those will be dependent on where Bernardo is selected.

The left wing is another position up for grabs and it's far more straightforward. A shoot-out between Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku. Doku could play on the right as well but has produced his most exhilarating skill and contributions from the left.
