Manchester United will face Manchester City in the Premier League at Old Trafford. United head into the game with hope after three consecutive wins. City, who have conceded the fewest goals, will be challenging opponents. Casemiro is facing a race against time to be fit, but Wan-Bissaka is expected to be named in the squad. Our writers have their say on how United should line up.
Manchester United will take on Manchester City in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
McTominay is a suitable foil as he is a robust presence who can be effective with and without the ball, if he's on form. United need an energetic presence in midfield. In midfield, Casemiro faces a race against time to be fit but after Amrabat's struggles in midweek, the Brazilian will be in the side if he is fit. Eriksen also deserves to start after his recent performances and Fernandes can play in the advanced role.
It would be hugely controversial to drop both McTominay and Eriksen, but it is a ruthless call that might be required, with Fernandes and Mount compelling choices in the other two midfield roles.The defence seems to be coming into form at the right time, but they might have their work cut out against City. Hopefully Maguire can continue on his upward curve and his partnership with Varane will be key.
