Man Utd vs Man City: Starting XIs for EPL clash confirmed

  • Manchester United host Manchester City at 16:30 BST today in a Premier League derby, with victory allowing City to rejoin Arsenal at the top of the table.
  • City midfielder Elliot Anderson stoked derby flames after joining from Nottingham Forest, declaring them the "Kings of Manchester," a reflection of City's dominance over the last 15 years.
  • United manager Michael Carrick made three changes, bringing in Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, and Marcus Rashford, while left-back Luke Shaw remains absent due to injury.
  • Although United have conceded twice in all three league games this season, they accumulated 68 attempts and the second-highest expected goals total of 7.3 across the first three matchdays.
  • Following qualification for the Champions League with a third-placed finish last season, Carrick believes perception around United is shifting, with higher expectations now replacing the outlook from a few months ago.
