ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Manchester City welcome Manchester United across town for the 192nd Manchester derby.
Pep Guardiola's side are aiming to keep pace with Liverpool in an intriguing Premier League title fight with Jurgen Klopp's team and Arsenal. They travel to Anfield in seven days' time for a pivotal encounter.
As such, they can scarcely afford a slip-up against their neighbours, whose unbeaten start to 2024 came to a shuddering halt when Fulham claimed a last-gasp 2-1 win at Old Trafford, while Erik ten Hag is also grappling with a lengthy injury list.
