The first Manchester derby of the season is almost upon us, with Manchester United playing hosts to Manchester City on Sunday. It's set up to be one of the games of the weekend, with the two sides having got off to very different starts so far.
City have been faultless in the Premier League, winning all three games, while they also beat FC Porto in the Champions League during the week to cap a fine start under new boss Enzo Maresca.
United, meanwhile, have won one, drawn one and lost one in the Premier League, most recently drawing with Everton, while they did manage to make easy work of Sabah in the Champions League this week to ensure they go into the derby with a little wind in their sails.
Ahead of Sunday's derby, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both sides.
Jeremy Doku - Out
The winger is out with a calf injury, with Maresca saying in his pre-match press conference: "I think he needs some more days."

O'Reilly has been deemed fit ahead of this one, with Maresca confirming: "Nico O'Reilly is 100% available..."
Amad Diallo - Out
Diallo is still out with his ankle issue and will not return here.
Matthijs De Ligt - Out
De Ligt won't return yet, with Michael Carrick having said this week: "It's positive. He's trained really well, but we're still managing it. When you're out for such a long period of time, you get to the final stages, pushing and pushing, and you've got to manage that last stage. It's important to get that balance right to take the next step. But he's on track, in a good place. Hopefully, some time soon."
Carlos Baleba - Out
Carrick confirmed when Baleba arrived that he would be out until just before the international break. He said at the time: "He’s got a little ankle issue, so maybe a couple of weeks or so, maybe three weeks, but we’ll see. But we knew that before, so it's no major issue."

Shaw will undergo a late fitness test, with Carrick saying in his pre-match press conference: "We'll have to see. We looked after him a little bit going into tonight. He wasn't quite ready for it, 100 per cent, so we didn't risk it. But we'll see how he is over the next couple of days or so."
Manuel Ugarte - Out
Ugarte is out long-term after undergoing knee surgery during the summer.
Tom Heaton - Out
The veteran keeper is out with a hamstring issue.
