I simulated Man City vs Manchester United to predict huge derby fixture in Premier League

There's lots on the line for both Manchester City and Manchester United when the two rivals face off in the Premier League today.

After midweek FA Cup clashes that saw both City and United book their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals, the two clash in the Premier League for the second time this season, with Pep Guardiola's side winning 3-0 in the meeting at Old Trafford last year. City will be desperate for three points to keep up their title charge, while a win for Erik ten Hag's side is important to continue their push for a top-four spot.

A thriller played out the last time the two sides met at the Etihad, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both bagging hat-tricks as City won 6-3. Rasmus Hojlund and Harry Maguire remain unavailable for United, while Jack Grealish will be missing for City.

So, who will come out on top in this weekend's Manchester derby? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated both squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that City could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva; Foden, Haaland, Doku.

We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Amrabat; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Antony, Rashford, Garnacho.

City forced Andre Onana into three saves in the opening seven minutes at the Etihad, and in the ninth minute they took the lead when Ruben Dias flicked Kevin De Bruyne's corner over the 'keeper at the near post. It seemed
