Team news

Manchester City news

Both Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus had been injured recently, but they both began Manchester City's 2-0 win against Peterborough in midweek to help the team's offensive options.
Raheem Sterling has only scored once in his previous seven Premier League appearances and has an abysmal record against Manchester United, having failed to score in 23 career meetings. He may take a seat on the bench.
Kyle Walker has been in and out of the team for a few months, so it wouldn't be surprising if John Stones returned to the starting lineup.

Manchester United news

After being rested in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Watford, Harry Maguire will return to the starting XI.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been overworked in recent weeks, but he will undoubtedly start against Manchester City on Sunday.
Scott McTominay has missed the last two Manchester United games due to illness, but Ralf Rangnick hopes to have him back soon.
Diogo Dalot hasn't started any of United's last three games and is up against Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the right-back position.
On current form, Anthony Elanga deserves to start ahead of Marcus Rashford, but it wouldn't surprise me if Rangnick chose the latter on Sunday.

Match facts

Man City has won 15 of their past 17 Premier League games.
In five of Man United's last six Premier League games, there have been fewer than 2.5 goals scored.
Man United has gone undefeated in their past eight Premier League games.

Manchester City vs Manchester United predictions

Manchester City were not at their best in midweek, but they won 2-0 in the FA Cup against Championship strugglers Peterborough. For a number of weeks, they haven't been at their best, allowing Liverpool to reduce the gap at the top of the Premier League.

After a relatively easy start as Manchester United manager in terms of the quality of opposition faced, Ralf Rangnick suddenly finds himself in a far more difficult situation. United didn't even make the most of that run, so picking up many points over the next month or two is unlikely.

United have won their last three matches at the Etihad, but everyone expects City to win on Sunday.

Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Manchester United
