Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Manchester City Team News:
Donnarumma has signed for Man City and Ederson has left the club and joined Fenerbahce. I expect Donnarumma to start immediately.
Rayan Cherki has a quadriceps tear and has been ruled out for around 2 months. A big blow to City especially after a slow start to the season and back-to-back losses.
Khusanov and Dias did a much better job containing Brighton for the first 60 minutes of the game than Dias and Stones did against Spurs in GW2. Dias is club captain however, so after 2 straight losses, it is certainly possible Pep gives Dias and Khusanov a try as the starting centre-back pairing.
Rodri now back and fully fit is an every week starter although rotation may be more of a factor for him than it used to be after his recent injuries.
Marmoush vs Doku is still one to watch but Marmoush has started in consecutive games now and got the assist for Haaland against Brighton.
Bobb seems to be City’s RW this season.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Manchester United Team News:
Cunha suffered what appeared to be a hamstring injury against Burnley. He went straight down the tunnel. The Brazil national team have confirmed his withdrawal from the squad for the upcoming international break. I would imagine Cunha misses GW4 at a minimum.
Mount was also withdrawn against Burnley mid game. Amorim said “We will check them (Mount and Cunha). We need those guys really bad to be really competitive.”
If Cunha and Mount both cannot play in GW4, Fernandes most likely moves further forward into the left 10 role, and Ugarte comes into the starting lineup to play alongside Casemiro.
Amad could join Mbeumo playing in one of the 10 roles, in order to allow Fernandes to continue to play deeper.
