Arch-rivals Manchester City and Manchester United meet at the Etihad for Sunday’s blockbuster clash.
The Premier League champions have just one win in 10 in all competitions, their worst run under Pep Guardiola.
But United have had a mixed start under Ruben Amorim and are far from convinced.
It should be a spectacular match in the North West, with so much at stake for both clubs.
Read on to see how both teams line up.

Guardiola is slowly recovering players from their injuries, but his lineups are as unpredictable as ever.
Ederson returns to goal, with a triple from Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker forming the defense.
Bernardo Silva lines up alongside Ilkay Gundogan in midfield, with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes providing width.
Phil Foden is called up and accompanies Kevin De Bruyne, with Erling Haaland as the only striker.

There are also some surprises from Amorim.
Andre Onana is in goal, with Harry Maguire alongside Matthijs De Ligt and Lisandro Martínez.
Mason Mount and Manuel Ugarte operate as defensive midfielders, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui as full-backs.
Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes play as two number 10s for the visitors.
And Rasmus Hojlund leads the line.
