City welcome United to the Etihad Stadium for the first time this season, in what is one of the most eagerly anticipated games in the fixture calendar.

Pep Guardiola’s side will be hoping to record a third successive win, having recorded 3-1 and 2-0 victories in 2018/19 to do the double over the red half of the city.
