Injury News

Phil Jones and Juan Mata are unavailable for Man United, who will be without David De Gea following the birth of his first child.

Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek and Paul Pogba are all doubts after missing the midweek draw with Crystal Palace.

Read Guardiola’s pre-match injury update, here.

Pep Guardiola preview

“They are so strong in all departments. Defensively, midfield - they have a quality playmaker in Bruno Fernandes - and the players upfront, so much pace.

“[They have] experience in Cavani, a player I admire. How he lives his career. It’s Manchester United. All the time, United are top class. It’s a privilege for us to have been in front of them for the last seasons.

“My target is to do what we have done lately and be ourselves.”

Form guide

City go into this clash on a 21-match winning streak and are unbeaten in our last 28 games.

We have won two, lost two and drawn one of the previous five Derby meetings.

Manchester United are on a ten-match unbeaten run in all competitions - six of which have ended all square, including Wednesday’s goalless draw at Crystal Palace.

Last meeting

John Stones and Fernandinho got the goals at Old Trafford as City deservedly progressed to the Carabao Cup final at our local rivals expense.

Both teams had goals disallowed in the first half, but Stones turned in Phil Foden’s free-kick to give the visitors the lead five minutes after the restart and Fernandinho sealed the win with a 20-yard volley into the bottom corner.
