Team News
Harry Maguire, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro could get more minutes having featured off the bench in the 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last time out. Luke Shaw on his part is back in training but this derby has come a bit too soon for the England left-back.
Omar Marmoush will continue leading the attack for City as Erling Haaland continues to recover from injury, while Oscar Bobb is set to feature again after returning from eight months on the sidelines last time out against Leicester City.
Kevin De Bruyne is likely to start on Sunday for his final Manchester derby, with the likes of Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden also set to return to the starting XI after being rested against the Foxes.
