Manchester City will be looking to complete a league double over Manchester United, as Pep Guardiola's side comes to Old Trafford to face their bitter rivals under new management.

Ruben Amorim was dismissed by Manchester United following his outspoken comments made towards the Manchester United hierarchy after their game against Leeds United. The dismissal from the board was no surprise, as a similar fate befell Enzo Maresca at Chelsea. Instead of seeking an immediate replacement permanently, the Manchester United board under INEOS have returned back to one of their former players to steady the ship until the rest of the season, in Michael Carrick. Carrick, whose last job was at Middlesbrough, was the interim manager for three games after the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

Manchester City will bring their new addition in Antoine Semenyo to Old Trafford, while reports of adding Marc Guehi to the squad will only further their title ambitions. Manchester City are in tremendous form, with no defeats in their last 13 matches after their victory away at St.James' Park. The away side are also on a magnificent run of league form with no defeats since the 2-1 loss away at Newcastle United back in November, having won six of their last nine league games, drawing the remaining three. For Pep Guardiola, his side will be looking to achieve another league double over the Red Devils, as the Citizens have not lost twice in the league to their arch rivals since the 2019/20 season.
