Arch-rivals Manchester City and Manchester United meet at the Etihad for Sunday’s blockbuster clash.
The Premier League champions have just one win in 10 across all competitions, their worst run under Pep Guardiola.
But United have had a mixed start under Ruben Amorim and are far from convincing themselves.
It should make for a spectacular match in the North-West with so much on the line for both clubs.
Read on to see how both teams line-up.

Guardiola is slowly getting players back from injury but his line-ups are as unpredictable as ever.
Ederson is back in goal, with a three of Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker making up the defence.
Bernardo Silva lines up alongside Ilkay Gundogan in midfield, with Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes providing the width.
Phil Foden is recalled and partners Kevin De Bruyne, with Erling Haaland the lone striker.

Mason Mount and Manuel Ugarte sit as defensive midfielders, with Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui playing as wing-backs.
Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes are playing as two No.10s for the visitors.
And Rasmus Hojlund leads the line.
