(Dan Tri) – Tonight (10:30 p.m., October 29), fans will witness the 191st Manchester derby when Man Utd confronts `noisy neighbor` Man City at Old Trafford in the framework of the first round.

Man Utd and Man City enter the Manchester derby after victories in the Champions League.

Man Utd has three recent wins but it cannot be said that they are on the way to recovering form.

Harry Maguire’s header in the second half and Andre Onana’s penalty save in injury time helped Man Utd get their first victory in the European Cup of the 2023-24 season.

Although all three of Man Utd’s recent wins were not really convincing, there were certain efforts from Ten Hag teachers and students.

With current form, Man Utd is being underestimated compared to `noisy neighbor` Man City.

Erling Haaland rediscovered the feeling of scoring goals after nearly a month of failure in Man City’s shirt by scoring in a 2-1 victory over Brighton last weekend.

Still maintaining its sublime performance in the European Cup this season, in the Premier League Man City continues to chase Tottenham Hotspur with a gap of 2 points.

Although they are rated higher than Man Utd, Man City does not necessarily have too many advantages, they still have things to worry about.

It must also be mentioned that in last season’s first leg, Man City crushed their city rivals 6-3 and was rated much higher before the return leg in January this year.

Man Utd’s clinic still has a number of players with long-term absences, including Lisandro Martinez (foot), Luke Shaw (muscle), Amad Diallo (knee) and Tyrell Malacia (knee), while Jadon Sancho is still involved.

Man Utd received positive information about personnel with the return of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro.

Man City will not have the services of Akanji due to the Swiss midfielder’s suspension, he received a red card in the match against Brighton last weekend.

Coach Guardiola did not let Josko Gvardiol, Kyle Walker, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden start in the match against Young Boys, after which only Silva, Alvarez and Foden came on from the bench.

Expected starting lineup:

Man Utd: Onana;

Man City: Ederson;
