Manchester City has its biggest test under new manager Enzo Maresca as it visits rival Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, Sept. 13.
City has won all four of its matches under Maresca so far, earning three straight Premier League wins before a 2-0 midweek Champions League victory at Porto.
But United should be a formidable challenge as City looks to atone for a 2-0 defeat in the sides' last meeting back in January.
City will not have the services of star winger Jérémy Doku, who is still dealing with a calf injury. But Nico O'Reilly is available again after suffering an injury in warm-ups ahead of a win over Coventry City on Saturday, Sept. 5.
Maresca will have some big calls to make in midfield, where newcomers Ayyoub Bouaddi, Enzo Fernández
and Elliot Anderson have made the battle for minutes highly competitive.
Here is how Manchester City could line up in the derby on Sunday.
Man City projected lineup vs Manchester United
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma
Defenders: Matheus Nunes, Rúben Dias, Marc Guéhi, Joško Gvardiol
Holding midfielders: Enzo Fernández, Elliot Anderson
Attacking midfielders: Antoine Semenyo, Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden
Forward: Erling Haaland
