Etihad Stadium is the venue for Sunday’s highly-anticipated Manchester derby with Manchester United on the road to the league leaders.
The Red Devils were held to a nil-nil stalemate against the league’s new boys Watford with Ralf Ragnick’s men suffering a setback in their hopes of a top-four finish.
Let us now have a look at how Ralf Rangnick might set up his Manchester United side –
4-2-3-1
David de Gea will be the man between the goalposts for the visitors to the Etihad with a slight change expected in the defensive lineup for United.
Skipper Harry Maguire looks likely to earn a recall back into the XI at the expense of Victor Lindelof with Raphael Varane the other centre-back option.
Fred will be the midfield go-to name for the interim boss Ralf Rangnick with the Brazil international maestro tipped to partner up with Paul Pogba.
In the attacking third of the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo is a certainty to lead the line with Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho to provide support.
