• Manchester City have to bounce back from successive defeats

• United hope they have turned the corner after a late win over Burnley

• Recommended bet: Over 3.5 goals

The Premier League season is only three games old, but the sight of Liverpool already being six points ahead of Manchester City will have alarm bells ringing in the City camp, especially as the Red Devils have strengthened in the transfer window and look unlikely to surrender many draws and losses.

Pep Guardiola's side can ill-afford to suffer another defeat after falling to both Tottenham and Brighton before the international break, and United may fancy their chances of getting something at the Etihad, after stunning their rivals with two late goals for a 2-1 win there last season.

Team news

Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to make his debut between the posts for City.

However, Guardiola has a host of defensive injuries to contend with, as Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov, John Stokes, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rico Lewis are all set to miss out.

Omar Marmoush was also crocked playing for Egypt during the international break.

Meanwhile, United have not escaped scot-free as Matheus Cunha, Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount are all set to sit this one out.

Prediction

City have work to do already if they are to challenge at the top of the table this season and that should ensure Guardiola's side adopts a positive approach in the Manchester derby against United.

However, their visitors are likely to fancy their chances too after gaining their first win of the campaign with a late penalty giving them a 3-2 win over Burnley last time out.

Ruben Amorim's team claimed a 2-1 success at the Etihad last season and the Red Devils have been beaten just four times in their last 10 visits, winning five of those matches.

City conceded twice against both Tottenham and Brighton and, while they have arguably the world's best goalkeeper between the posts following Donnarumma's arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, a makeshift Citizens rearguard looks far from assured.

Goals look to be firmly on the agenda, so take a chance there will be more than three in the first all-Manchester Premier League clash of the season.
