Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Manchester City will look to extend their winning run in all competitions to three matches when they travel to Old Trafford for a Premier League showdown with rivals Manchester United in the latest instalment of the Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens have returned from the international break with back-to-back victories, following up a 2-1 top-flight success over Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend with a 3-1 win away against Young Boys in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's men are now focused fully on their task to claim the bragging rights in Manchester as they seek to win their fifth match in six meetings with Man United.
