User talk:If we lose, we'll be in big trouble... Pep vs Ten Haag, Manchester derby selection announced! Coming soon
The Manchester derby will be held.
Manchester City and Manchester United will play 27 rounds of the 2023-24 Premier League at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, at 12:30 a.m. on the 4th (Korea time). Manchester United is in sixth place with 44 points (14 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses).
For Manchester City, Ederson, Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and Erling Haaland started. Matteo Kovacic, Julián Álvarez, Josoko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, Matteus Nunes, Oscar Bove, and Rico Lewis were on the bench.
United's starting lineup includes Andre Onana, Victor Lindelof, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro, Raphael Varane, Diogo Dalot, Jonny Evans, Kobe Mainu and Scott McTominay. Christian Eriksen, Antony and Sofiane Amrabat started off the bench.
Manchester City lost its lead to Liverpool, but they are chasing after it. Recently, the atmosphere has been heightened by beating Luton Town 5-2 in the FA Cup in England.
United were beaten by Fulham as they continued their winning streak in the Premier League. Despite the criticism that it was not good for their performance, doubts about manager Erik ten Hag blossomed again after their disappointing defeat at Fulham. They set the tone with a 1-0 FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest during the week and are ready for the Manchester derby.
Although they won against Nottingham, there is a lot of anxiety. Injuries to Anthony Martial and Rasmus Hoyloun have created a gap in the front line, and the defensive concerns have been raised as Taryl Malacia, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Lisandro Martinez have been sidelined. Mason Mount is still unavailable, and Harry Maguire is also suspicious. He is at a disadvantage, losing one and five of his last six official Manchester Derby matches.
