Manchester United vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
If Manchester United were stunned by Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ 96th-minute equalizer for Everton in the Premier League on Sunday, they did not show it much in their 4-0 win over Sabah in the UEFA Champions League.
The Red Devils knocked the wind out of the Azerbaijani club’s sails. This leaves Michael Carrick’s men with just one defeat in four matches this season, with the sole aberration being their 0-2 loss at Hull City on opening day.
Against Sabah, United made 42 touches in the opposition box and recorded 10 shots on target. Four different scorers graced the net, but captain Bruno Fernandes stood out once again with a game-high four chances. Matheus Cunha, operating on the left flank after Benjamin Sesko was asked to play up front, took the joint-most shots (four).
The Red Devils will be without Matthijs de Ligt, Tom Heaton, Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, and Carlos Baleba in the upcoming derby.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Dorgu, Martinez, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, Tielemans; Cunha, Fernandes, Mbeumo; Sesko.
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season, with three wins in three games, was reinforced by their 2-0 victory over Porto in the UEFA Champions League. Their turnaround in form will be a great relief for new manager Enzo Maresca, for whom the 0-3 loss to Arsenal in the FA Community Shield is now a distant nightmare.
Against the Portuguese club, City were compact in both attack and defense. They took 20 shots, including 10 on target, made eight vital interceptions to prevent their opponents from getting ahead, and completed an impressive 93% of their passes. An xG of 2.32, xGOT of 3.39, 29 touches in the opposition penalty area, and a brace from talisman Erling Haaland bode well for the Cityzens’ chances in the derby.
Jeremy Doku is the only City player sidelined due to injury.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Ait Nouri, Guehi, Dias, Nunes; Fernandez, Anderson; Semenyo, Cherki, Foden; Haaland.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to win or draw
- Odds: -143 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Manchester City
Despite their topsy-turvy start to the new season, Man United have the edge over City in derbies, having avoided defeat in three of their last four home meetings. Carrick has a volatile group of players who can both excite and frustrate in equal measure.
At the heart of United’s attack stands captain Fernandes, who was the 2025-26 Premier League Player of the Season after recording nine goals and 21 assists. Bryan Mbeumo, with two goals already this campaign, is another player to watch.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over three goals
- Odds: -121 (20Bet)
We expect this clash to produce more than three goals, primarily because of the matchup between United’s Fernandes and City’s Haaland. The latter won the league’s Golden Boot last season with 27 goals. He also scored seven for Norway at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and has already netted three goals this season.
These key players will be responsible for adding goals to the scoresheet, with Mbeumo (United) and Antoine Semenyo (City) providing additional attacking threat. Semenyo scored 17 goals last season and was third on the Golden Boot list.
