Manchester United v City: Live Premier League updates

Today’s line-ups are due to be released at 11.15 (UK), but Pep Guardiola revealed the latest team news at Friday’s pre-match press conference.

The main issue reveals around Nico who missed last Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win at Newcastle with a knock.

The boss said he would gauge during Friday afternoon's training session to know whether the Spanish holding midfielder can play or not.

Asked specifically about Nico’s fitness, Pep said: “We’ll see this afternoon in training.”

Omar Marmoush is still absent as he is on AFCON duty with Egypt.

Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Oscar Bobb and Mateo Kovacic are also all unavailable as they continue to recover from injury.

For United, both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are in contention after returning from AFCON action with Cameroon and Ivory Coast respectively.

However, Shea Lacey is suspended after being sent off in last weekend’s FA Cup loss to Brighton.

Centre half Matthijs de Ligt is also still out through injury.

We won’t have too much longer to wait until we find out the all-important team news.
