The Manchester City vs Manchester United predicted lineups are intriguing ahead of the Manchester derby this Sunday, with so many new players, injuries and erratic form to contend with.

United travel to the Midlands with growing confidence, their recent performances marked by energy, coherence and belief. Amorim’s methods are beginning to show results, and the team looks increasingly synchronised in attack. Forest, by contrast, are still finding their identity under Dyche, and the inconsistency is evident.

Manchester United will have to fend off competition from Manchester City to secure the signature of Morten Hjulmand in January.
