Check out Manchester City’s early team information.
As the Premier League resumes, Manchester United have a huge game against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, which will be a stern test for Erik ten Hag‘s team.
The Reds face the unbeaten Blues on their home turf in their first league game since 4 September, hoping for no rustiness after the break. The big question is whether everyone has returned from international duty unscathed.
An injury forced Martin Dubravka to withdraw from the Slovakia team, and Harry Maguire was visibly limping at the conclusion of England’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley.
Scott McTominay missed Scotland’s group-winning draw against Ukraine but that was due to suspension and he has been back in training at Carrington already.
