Man City vs. Man United live score: Premier League result, updates, stats from the 197th Manchester derby

Manchester City and Manchester United head into the 197th Manchester derby with plenty of questions to answer.

City have lost two of their first three matches in a Premier League season for the first time since 2004/05, following back-to-back losses against Tottenham and Brighton.

United head into the derby a point ahead of their rivals, having won for the first time this season at the fourth time of asking against Burnley in the international break.

One point from their first two Premier League games and a humiliating penalty shoot-out defeat to League Two Grimsby Town in the Cababao Cup means the jury remains out on Ruben Amorim's side.

Going back to Erik ten Hag's tenure, United have not tasted defeat in their past four matches against City, although this run does feature a 1-1 draw in the 2024 Community Shield that City went on to win on penalties.

City boss Pep Guardiola has a long list of injuries ahead of the derby.

Omar Marmoush, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki are all sidelined, and John Stones is a major doubt after withdrawing from international duty.

Mateo Kovacic underwent Achilles tendon surgery and is not expected to return to the pitch this month. Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, Rico Lewis, and Nico O'Reilly are all back in training, though.

Abdukodir Khusanov could be available after recovering from a calf injury, and Guardiola is expected to hand Gianluigi Donnarumma his debut in goal.

United have a few problems of their own in terms of injuries. Matheus Cunha sustained a hamstring injury against Burnley and is out, along with Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount, who also have muscle concerns.

The disruption to the forward line could see captain Bruno Fernandes moved into a No. 10 role and Benjamin Sesko get his first Premier League start. Kobbie Mainoo is an option to partner Casemiro in central midfield.

Head coach Ruben Amorim said on Friday that Altay Bayindir would start in goal over new signing Senne Lammens, who joined from Royal Antwerp on transfer deadline day.
