Fernandinho and Rodri play together! – Man United vs Man City (Team News)

With a brief rest in midweek, Ederson returns his usual duties in goal. Kyle Walker comes back in at right-back and will be looking to contain the pace the United wingers do have. On the opposite side, Joao Cancelo will look to create width for the wingers to operate inside. In centre-back, the pairing of Ruben Dias and John Stones continues.

Rodri wasn’t feeling 100% in midweek, but he returns to his normal defensive midfield duties today. Alongside him is Fernandinho and sitting just in front of both of them is Kevin De Bruyne.

After some impressive showings in recent weeks, Riyad Mahrez starts with Raheem Sterling on the opposite wing. And with no Sergio Agüero with the squad today, Gabriel Jesus leads the line.
