Man City starting line-up vs Man United

New signing Gianluigi Donnarumma makes his City debut in goal, replacing England’s James Trafford.

Marmoush suffered a knee injury in Egypt’s 0-0 draw and is absent alongside midfielders Rayan Cherki and Mateo Kovacic and wideman Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Defender John Stones remains out after withdrawing from England duty for the recent qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.

Erling Haaland, who required stitches following a freak incident involving the door of the team bus while away with Norway, will be full of confidence after netting five goals for his country in an 11-1 demolition of Moldova on Tuesday.

City manager Guardiola expressed his admiration for the towering striker during a week when Liverpool boss Arne Slot hailed £125 million signing Alexander Isak as “maybe the best striker in the world”.

“Isak must be a top player because of what they paid,” said Guardiola. “I wouldn’t change Erling for anyone. I know him. I like him.”

Man City starting XI: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Abdukodir Khusanov, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O’Reilly, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Bernardo Silva, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland

Man City substitutes: James Trafford, Nathan Ake, Nico O’Reilly, Savinho, Matheus Nunes, Oscar Bobb, Divine Mukasa, Rico Lewis, Stephen Mfuni
