Goal Scorer:
Manchester Utd
The Man United infirmary is slowly but surely emptying, although Ten Hag still has a handful of long-term absentees unavailable, including Lisandro Martinez (foot), Luke Shaw (muscle), Amad Diallo (knee) and Tyrell Malacia (knee), while Jadon Sancho's exile does not appear to be ending anytime soon.
However, there is quiet optimism that Casemiro will be able to return to the engine room as he battles back from the knock he sustained on Brazil duty, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also on the verge of a return from a thigh problem but will surely only make the bench at best.
While most of the starters from Tuesday evening should be rewarded here, Sofyan Amrabat only lasted 45 minutes before being sacrificed for Christian Eriksen, who has made his case to partner Casemiro or Scott McTominay from the first whistle in the derby.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Manchester City
On the back of returning to Swiss soil with a goal, Man City defender Akanji will now be brought crashing back down to earth, as the ex-Borussia Dortmund man was sent off for two bookable offences against Brighton and will therefore sit out the derby through suspension.
However, aside from the banned centre-back - whose absence should be covered by the returning John Stones - Kevin De Bruyne is the only other name on the champions' absentee list, as the hamstring victim helplessly watches on from the sidelines once again.
As well as Stones's expected comeback, the likes of Josko Gvardiol, Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden are also in line for returns to the Citizens' XI, as is Argentinian hotshot Alvarez, who saw an eighth strike of the season ruled out at Stadion Wankdorf.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Silva; Doku, Alvarez, Foden; Haaland
Prediction: Manchester United 0-2 Manchester City
