City make the short trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford after reeling off four successive wins to the start Marescas first season.But Citys recent form against United has been far from impressive. Only one of their previous four away games against their neighbours has resulted in victory, which came in a 3-0 win in October 2023.Despite their recent issues in this fixture, Maresca is relishing his first taste of it.Its very important for different reasons, Maresca told a pre-match press conference.Its a derby. Especially for the club, for the fans. Special game and most important thing we can do is be ourselves and then we will see the final result.Every derby is more or less similar. I have been in different ones.The worst was Olympiacos v Panathinaikos because that was very hot. Juventus, Torino. Sevilla, Betis. As a manager with Chelsea. They are all special games for the fans first of all, for the coaching staff, a special game for everyone.I want these kinds of games. I like these kinds of games.City midfielder Elliot Anderson stoked the derby flames after joining the club from Nottingham Forest, declaring them to be the Kings of Manchester.Those words are a reflection of the success City have enjoyed over the last 15 years compared to United. Following contrasting starts to the season, City will again be expected to have a superior season to Michael Carricks men, who have taken just four points from Premier League games with Hull City, Ipswich Town and Everton.However, after qualifying for the Champions League with a third-placed finish last season, Carrick believes the perception around United is starting to change.Asked about Andersons remarks following their Champions League win over Sabah, Carrick said: Im definitely not using that phrase at all, no. I understand it, and I think going into the Champions League game tonight and talking about the expectation there, I think its a really good thing that its shifted in a way, and all of a sudden theres different things asked of us now to maybe what was a few months ago, and were in the Champions League. That in itself shows the steps weve made and we need to be in the later stages of that.A routine victory against Champions League debutants Sabah will not have eased concerns about a shaky Premier League start, and United will need a convincing performance against their rivals to raise hopes of them surpassing City domestically.Manchester United v Man City Premier League team newsLuke Shaw is a doubt for United, who will again be without Carlos Baleba (ankle), Amad Diallo (knock) and Matthijs de Ligt (back).Nico OReilly could return from a back injury for City, but Jeremy Doku (calf) is less likely to feature.Manchester United v Manchester City predicted line upsManchester United: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Dorgu; Tielemans, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford; Sesko.Manchester City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol; Anderson, Fernandez; Semenyo, Cherki, Ndiaye; Haaland.Man United v Man City stats, Premier League formUnited won this exact fixture last season 2-0 but havent beaten rivals City twice in a row at home in the Premier League since a run of three under Alex Ferguson from 2008/09 to 2010/11They have won nine of their 10 Premier League home games since Michael Carrick took charge in January (L1), scoring at least twice in each victoryTheir current three-match winning run at home has come despite conceding twice each time.
