Latest information on the Man City vs MU squad
Following his impressive goal against Crystal Palace, Manchester City defender Rico Lewis has been suspended and will miss the Manchester derby. He is one of six players unavailable. Rodri (knee injury), Oscar Bobb (leg injury), and Nathan Ake (thigh injury) will be out until 2025, while Manuel Akanji and John Stones are also unlikely to recover in time. This may force Pep Guardiola to use young players like Jahmai Simpson-Pusey or Josh Wilson-Esbrand to replace Lewis, or experiment with a three-centre-back formation.
The good news is that Mateo Kovacic has returned to the bench and may be available to play.
On Manchester United's side, Luke Shaw continues to struggle with a calf injury, while Jonny Evans has trained and may feature. Manager Ruben Amorim is expected to make several changes for the derby, with the possible inclusion of Hojlund, Mason Mount, or Alejandro Garnacho to challenge Kyle Walker if his poor form continues. Leny Yoro could also feature in this match.
Latest predicted lineups for Man City vs MU

Latest Man City vs MU football match prediction
Pep Guardiola is going through a difficult period after the 0-2 defeat to Juventus in the Champions League, with goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie. Although the 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest seemed to help City overcome their crisis, they then drew 2-2 against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, needing to equalize twice to earn a point.
With their seventh defeat in their last 10 matches, Manchester City are now clinging to a top-four spot in the Premier League, eight points behind Liverpool. Without improving their form, they could drop out of the Champions League qualification spots. However, Guardiola can still take some comfort in the three goals scored in their last two home games. Even so, during this poor run of form, City only kept a clean sheet against Nuno Espirito Santo, conceding at least two goals in all other matches.
Conversely, Manchester United's Rasmus Højlund scored a brace against Viktoria Plzen, helping his team secure a crucial Europa League victory. However, Man United sit 13th in the Premier League, following two defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, largely due to errors from Onana and the defense.
United's away form is poor, with no wins in their last five away games and only two wins in 13 away matches. Despite this, Man United have hopes of replicating their impressive 4-1 victory over Manchester City. City have won three consecutive matches at the Etihad against United, and a win in the derby would see Ruben Amorim face his third consecutive Premier League defeat as a manager.
