The Manchester derby headlines the Premier League match calendar this weekend as Manchester United take on Manchester City.
Manchester United might have returned from the international break with a disappointing 1–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, but the Red Devils are right back in action five days later against their biggest rivals. Manchester United and Manchester City are set to clash at Old Trafford with three points and a lot of pride on the line.
Ruben Amorim's first signature win as Manchester United's new coach came back in December when his side rallied a late comeback to defeat Manchester City 1–2 at the Etihad. Now, the Red Devils have the opportunity to defeat the Citizens twice in the same season for the first time since their 2019–20 campaign.
The Portuguese manager will be thrilled to potentially have Kobbie Mainoo back in his squad for the first time since the 19-year-old suffered a muscle injury in February. Harry Maguire and Mason Mount also both returned against Nottingham Forest and are available to feature in the Manchester derby. Matthijs de Ligt is a doubt, though, after the center back suffered a knock in Tuesday's fixture.
Here's how Manchester United could lineup vs. Pep Guardiola's men on Sunday, Apr. 6.
