Team News
Manchester United
United continue to make do without Paul Pogba - who serves the second of a three-game domestic ban this weekend - while Raphael Varane has been ruled out for a month with the hamstring injury he sustained in midweek.
With Victor Lindelof also nursing a knock, Solskjaer may not be able to field the three-man rearguard that worked to great effect against Spurs, but the Swede is thought to have a strong chance of returning here.
Fred, Cavani and Mason Greenwood will all come into contention for recalls to the first XI this week, with Rashford potentially dropping out of the side as Solskjaer accommodates the two veterans in the final third.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Bailly, Lindelof, Maguire; Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, Fred, Shaw; Fernandes; Ronaldo, Cavani
Manchester City
Meanwhile, City are already confirmed to be without Ferran Torres for another couple of months, while Laporte will join Pogba on the naughty step following his red card against Palace and Kyle Walker is a doubt with a foot issue.
John Stones - who scored an own goal in midweek - is therefore set to partner Ruben Dias in defence this week, while Kevin De Bruyne enjoyed a 15-minute cameo against Brugge and will hope to return to the first XI here.
Foden ought to continue as the focal point of City's attack alongside Jesus and Jack Grealish, with Sterling still without a goal against Man United after 23 games against the Red Devils.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Jesus, Foden, Grealish
Prediction: Manchester United 1-3 Manchester City
