Key Players to watch

Bruno Fernandes has been the main contributor once again for Manchester United this season, with 13 goal contributions in the Premier League. The Manchester United captain has been in sensational form for the Red Devils despite the team struggling. Fernandes has provided nine goal contributions in his last seven appearances, despite the Manchester United captain suffering an injury for three weeks.

Amad Diallo was sorely missed by Manchester United during his time on international duty for the Ivory Coast. The winger provided a much-needed outlet and balance for the Red Devils, with Manchester United struggling with width, fielding Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot on that side during the Ivorian's absence.

Phil Foden has picked up form once again this season, with seven goals and two assists in 17 Premier League appearances for the Citizens. Foden has scored seven times against the Red Devils in his career, including once this season.
