Man City have some big decisions to make as they return to Premier League action against Manchester United this weekend. Pep Guardiola's side triumphed 2-0 over Newcastle in the League Cup during midweek and are expected to freshen their starting line up from the victory at St. James' Park.
Antoine Semenyo will hope for his first taste of the Manchester derby after he signed for City last week, while Max Alleyne could continue a remarkable month with a start at Old Trafford. There are also some obvious changes to make to the side, with Rodri and Gianluigi Donnarumma both certain to be recalled to the line up.
Here is how we think City should line up as they look to spoil the party for new United head coach Michael Carrick.
Donnarumma is certain to regain his place for the Manchester derby.
