🔎 Match Preview:

Manchester City

• They’ve had a rocky start to the 2025/26 Premier League season. After a big opening win vs Wolves, City have dropped points in successive league games (losses to Tottenham and Brighton).

• They are dealing with a number of injuries. Key absentees: Omar Marmoush is definitely out. There are doubts over others like Rayan Cherki, Mateo Kovacic, Phil Foden, etc.

Manchester United

• United have also had a mixed start: one win, one draw, one loss in the Premier League so far. Their most recent game was dramatic — they beat Burnley 3-2 via a very late (97th min) Bruno Fernandes penalty.

• They have injury problems too: Matheus Cunha is likely out, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount are doubtful.
