Man Utd vs. Man City: Carrick Makes Three Changes, Maresca One

Manchester United hosts Manchester City in a fourth-round Premier League clash. The "Citizens," now led by Enzo Maresca after Pep Guardiola's departure, boast a perfect record with three wins so far and will be aiming for another victory today to draw level with Arsenal at the top of the table. The "Red Devils," on the other hand, have had a shaky start, securing just four points from their three matches. However, a triumph in the Manchester derby could provide a significant boost for the team. Both sides recorded Champions League victories during the week, but City's players had an extra two days to recover.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has made three changes to the starting lineup from the team that defeated Sabah. The main news from the 20-time champions' camp is the continued absence of Luke Shaw. Patrick Dorgu retains his position at left-back, while Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot come in for Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro. Marcus Rashford starts ahead of Benjamin Sesko.

Enzo Maresca has made just one change to the Manchester City squad from the team that overcame Porto. Elliot Anderson returns to the lineup in place of fellow new signing Ayub Bouadi. The midfielder will partner with another new acquisition, Enzo Fernandez, while Phil Foden, Antoine Semenyo, and Rayan Cherki will support Erling Haaland upfront. Nico O’Reilly, who has recovered from injury, remains on the bench.
