Line-ups revealed as old rivals meet again

Arch-rivals Manchester City and Manchester United meet at the Etihad in Sunday’s big clash.

The Premier League champions have just one win from 10 in all competitions, their worst run under Pep Guardiola.

But United have had a mixed start under Ruben Amorim and are far from convincing themselves.

It should be a spectacular game in the North West with so much on the line for both clubs.

Read on to see how both teams line up.

Guardiola is slowly bringing players back after injuries, but his lineups are as unpredictable as ever.

Ederson is back in goal, and the defense consists of Josko Guardiol, Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker.

Bernardo Silva lines up alongside Ilkay Gundogan in midfield, with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes providing the width.

Phil Foden has been recalled and partners Kevin De Bruyne, with Erling Haaland the only striker.

There are also a few surprises from Amorim.

Andre Onana is in goal, and Harry Maguire enters alongside Matthijs De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.

Mason Mount and Manuel Ugarte sit as defensive midfielders, while Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui play as wing-backs.

Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes play as two 10s for the guests.

And Rasmus Hojlund leads the line.
