Manchester United will play Manchester City in the Premier League. The match will be played at Old Trafford on 6th November 2021 at 6:00 PM IST.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces a final test to save his job at Manchester United. The Red Devils come in with a win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and a draw against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League.
If the team fails to win this derby, Solskjaer might get sacked. The manager used a three-back line-up in the last couple of games and is likely to go for the same. Raphael Varane and Edison Cavani both are sidelined with injuries. Ole ranks third among the managers who won the most against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City but a win here seems tough.
Shrugging off the loss against Crystal Palace, Manchester City thrashed Club Brugge 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League. They sit third on the points table with 20 points and a win will promote them to the second position.
Ferran Torres is out which makes the central attacking midfield positions open for Phil Foden or Kevin De Bryune. Raheem Sterling was one of the goal scorers in the mid-week fixture but has not scored once in 23 appearances against Manchester United and is unlikely to start in derby as well. The starting XI can be changed to accommodate the return of John Stones, who will replace the suspended Aymeric Laporte.
