Manchester City and Manchester United will look to put early season struggles behind them as the rivals clash in the Manchester derby.

An embarrassing defeat at Grimsby has increased the pressure on Ruben Amorim, but United actually sit above City in the table after picking up four points from their first three Premier League games of the season.

City have lost two of their first three, in what is their worst-ever start to a Premier League season under Pep Guardiola. Back-to-back defeats to Tottenham and Brighton have seen a new-look City team come back down to earth.

There is set to an extra focus on both goalkeepers, with Amorim confirming that Altay Bayindir will start ahead of new arrival Senne Lammens while Gianluigi Donnarumma could make his debut for City after arriving on deadline day.

What is the team news?

New goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma could make his Manchester City debut ahead of James Trafford following his deadline-day arrival from Paris Saint-Germain.
