The Etihad Stadium will host one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season this evening, as Manchester City meet rivals Manchester United in the fourth round of the Premier League.
Both teams enter the derby after a shaky start to the campaign.
City, who suffered back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Brighton following an opening-day victory over Wolverhampton, currently sit in 13th place with just three points.
United, meanwhile, occupy ninth place with four points after one win, one draw, and one loss.
City will be without Egyptian international Omar Marmoush, who picked up an injury during Egypt’s World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso.
Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed to Sky Sports that Marmoush will miss the derby and remains sidelined for “a few weeks,” with hopes of returning after October’s international break.
