Man United vs Man City prediction and preview 

Man United have been in scintillating form in the past few games, more so since their exit from the Champions League. The Red Devils sit second in the Premier League standings, tied on points with Liverpool, albeit with a game in hand. The Old Trafford outfit managed a close-edged victory against Everton in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, courtesy of two late goals from Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial. 

On the other hand, Man City have endured a mixed start to the current campaign. The Etihad-based outfit occupy the fifth spot in the Premier League with 29 points. But Pep Guardiola's side have played a game less than their city rivals. In the Carabao Cup, the Cityzens defeated Arsenal 4-1 in a mesmerising display at the Emirates.

Marcos Rojo and Victor Lindelof are also doubtful for the Manchester derby. 

Guardiola has major injury woes, with the squad struggling with several COVID-19 cases. Aymeric Laporte, Eric Garcia, Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres are doubtful for the game. Besides, Ederson Moraes, Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker are recovering from the coronavirus.
