Erik ten Hag has named his Manchester United starting eleven to face Manchester City at the Etihad.
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench meaning we will see a Manchester United front three of Antony, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
There are surprises as far as our defence is concerned. David de Gea starts between the stick, standing behind a back four consisting of Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

Scott McTominay keeps his place in midfield, alongside Christian Eriksen with Bruno Fernandes expected to play further forward. All three will be expected to help stop City from providing Erling Haaland with service in the final third.
In attack, Ten Hag will hope his players are clinical in front of goal. He has selected Antony, Rashford and Sancho to cause problems for City’s defence.
Manchester United XI via @ManUtd: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; McTominay, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Rashford, Sancho.
A win for United would be enough to put us into the top four. It would bring us closer to City, too.
