Man Utd v Man City team news
Man Utd: At this stage of the competition, expect rotation to be minimal, regardless of the fixture pile-up in recent weeks.
Edinson Cavani is suspended and Victor Lindelof is a doubt through injury, though neither would be expected to start in this one. Solskjaer could name an unchanged XI from the team that beat Aston Villa.
Man City: Ederson will miss the clash due to COVID-19 though stand-in stopper Zack Steffen looked comfortable – albeit underworked – against Chelsea at the weekend.
Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker, Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia are also missing due to COVID, while Aymeric Laporte is an injury doubt. A makeshift midfield still triumphed at the weekend though.
Our prediction: Man Utd v Man City
United have thrived against City in the last year or so, winning three and losing just one of their last five meetings in all competitions.
Bruno Fernandes is playing out of his skin right now, at the very top of his game, while Marcus Rashford has also rediscovered his lethal touch in recent weeks.
City turned up the heat against a blunt Chelsea side at the weekend, but United will pose a greater threat forward and could won't allow City to play their free-flowing game without a fight.
Our prediction: Man Utd 2-1 Man City
