It's the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday, where Manchester City host Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola's men are chasing Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table while Erik ten Hag's United are bidding to stay in the hunt for the UEFA Champions League places. A 2-1 home defeat to Fulham last time out halted United's recent good run of results in the top flight and cast further doubt over the future of their under-pressure manager.
Rasmus Hojlund is expected to be out of the clash as he's still recovering from a muscle injury, leaving United with decisions to make for their front three. There is no such worry for City, who are expected to start Erling Haaland — who scored five goals in the FA Cup win at Luton Town this week — as the spearhead of their attack.

Lineups, starting 11s, team news for Man City vs Man United
Jack Grealish has suffered a fresh groin injury setback and will miss out this weekend. Josko Gvardiol is fit enough to return to the bench.
Guardiola rested Ederson, Ruben Dias and Rodri for City's impressive 6-2 FA Cup win at Luton, and the trio return, with Jeremy Doku starting on the left wing in Grealish's absence
Man City confirmed XI (3-2-4-1, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Ake — Rodri, Stones — Silva, De Bruyne, Kovacic, Foden — Haaland.
Man City subs (9): Ortega (GK), Kovacic, Alvarez, Gomez, Gvardiol, Akanji, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis.
- Injured: Grealish.
- Suspended: None.
Ten Hag is still without a raft of first-team players for this clash, with Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Rasmus Hojlund missing out once more. Martinez and Hojlund arriving at the Etihad Stadium on the United team bus and wearing tracksuits turned out to be nothing more than pre-match kidology.
Victor Lindelof could switch to left-back, with Jonny Evans starting at centre-back and teenager Kobbie Mainoo back in midfield.
Man United confirmed XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Varane, Evans, Lindelof — Casemiro, Mainoo — Fernandes, McTominay, Garnacho — Rashford.
