City to win back-and-forth affair
It has been a long time since a Manchester derby in which both teams were struggling as much as Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim’s sides are to start this season.
The Citizens have lost two of their three Premier League games while the Red Devils have limped to four points and were dumped out of the EFL Cup by Grimsby.
City still look wide open on the counter, as proven in defeats against Tottenham and Brighton, and are dealing with an injury crisis with the likes of Rayan Cherki, Omar Marmoush and Mateo Kovacic absent.
Nevertheless, the hosts should be too strong for a Manchester United team who have again struggled this season despite their big spending spree.
The middle of the park is a big concern for the visitors and that’s where this game could be won and lost. Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders and Bernardo Silva are likely to line up there for the home side and that could be the difference between the two teams.
City have failed to convince defensively though so they may concede, albeit in victory.

Foden could be back with a bang
Manchester City are sweating on the fitness of a number of their attacking stars, one of whom is Phil Foden.
However the England international has had the break to recover from an ankle concern and played the last 15 minutes of City’s defeat to Tottenham last time out.
He has scored six goals in 11 Premier League derbies against these opponents and could add to that tally.

Reijnders happy to have a crack
This should be a high-scoring affair between two sides who have been struggling defensively. Eight of the last nine meetings between these two have gone over 2.5 goals and this looks set to follow suit.
New signing Tijjani Reijnders has taken at least one shot on goal in all three of his league games for Manchester City, scoring on debut against Wolves, and looks likely to have at least one shot in this game as he may be deployed further forward.
The hosts still look too open on transition and that will be an area which Manchester United will look to exploit. It will be Rodri’s job to stop counter attacks and he looks overpriced for a card. He has been given four in 14 games against these opponents.
