Man City currently leads the Premier League standings with a collection of 66 points from 27 matches. While MU is currently ranked 4th with 47 points from 27 matches.
The Citizens are eyeing victory in order to try to keep running from the pursuit of their closest rivals Liverpool. As for MU wants to maintain the position of the top four.
Looking at the position in the standings, Man City has a chance to win and score a lot of goals. So, who are the Citizens players who might score against MU? Check out the reviews below.
Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne is one of the important players in the stronghold of Manchester City. In addition to being good at making assists, De Bruyne has qualified qualities in front of the opponent's goal.
This season, De Bruyne still shows quite an impressive performance for The Citizens. He managed to score eight goals and seven assists from 30 games.
During 13 times undergoing the Manchester Derby, De Bruyne has only scored once against Manchester United. Even so, David de Gea should not underestimate the Belgian player.
Phil Foden
Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola certainly has a reason to often play Phil Foden even though he is still very young. The English midfielder is often a differentiator for his team.
Foden became Manchester City's winner in the match against Everton in Week 27 of the Premier League. He scored in the 89th minute.
The 21-year-old has yet to score in six games against Manchester United. However, David de Gea's goal could be an easy target for Foden in this duel.
Bernardo Silva
Bernardo Silva has performed quite well with Manchester City this season. The Portuguese player has contributed 10 goals and three assists from 35 matches in all competitions.
Previously, Bernardo Silva scored one goal in the first Manchester derby of the season. His goal helped The Citizens win 2-0 at Old Trafford.
Bernardo Silva seems to be returning to be a mainstay of Josep Guardiola in the match against Manchester United. For that, MU's rearguard must be able to dampen the movement of the player if you don't want to regret it.
Riyad Mahrez
Riyad Mahrez has a very big chance to play against Manchester United. Manchester City's agile winger will be a real threat to the Red Devils' defense.
Mahrez has scored 19 goals in 32 games in all competitions this season. One of them was against Peterborough in the FA Cup in the previous match.
Mahrez himself has only scored one goal from 15 meetings against the Red Devils. The Algerian player can add to his goal collection in this match.
Raheem Sterling
Manchester City have a lot of dangerous players on the bench. One of them is England winger Raheem Sterling.
While defending The Citizens, Sterling has shown good goal-scoring abilities. He has a collection of 13 goals from 33 games in all competitions this season.
Sterling has never scored against Manchester United. Even so, the Red Devils players should not underestimate the ability of the 27-year-old player.
