Manchester United vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford today, aiming to break a decade-long derby hoodoo and solidify their top-three standing.

The Red Devils enter a critical stage of the campaign under manager Marc Skinner. United return following a tough European outing. Nevertheless, they boast a perfect six-match winning streak on home soil. Consequently, a victory today takes them another step closer to UWCL qualification.

Manchester United team news

Manager Marc Skinner welcomes positive news regarding several key starters. Top scorer Elisabeth Terland and full-back Jayde Riviere expect to be fit. Consequently, Riviere should reclaim her starting spot.

She bolsters a defence currently missing Dominique Janssen. Meanwhile, Hinata Miyazawa returns from her Asian Cup glory. She provides a vital creative option in midfield. However, a hip injury sidelines Ella Toone until late April.

Phallon Tullis-Joyce will likely start in goal. Ahead of her, Maya Le Tissier anchors the defensive line. In midfield, Julia Zigiotti Olme looks to control the tempo. She partners Lisa Naalsund in the centre of the pitch.

Moreover, Melvine Malard enters the match brimming with confidence. She scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner against Everton last weekend. Finally, Lea Schüller expects to lead the attacking line. United desperately search for their first home derby win since 2023.
