Manchester United finally get to play a late kick-off as they long desired one but their round 5 Premier League fixture is against Crystal Palace who beat them 4-0 five months ago.
Manchester United played that game with Casemiro and Johnny Evans as center backs and Kobie Maninoo and Christian Eriksen as the midfield duo.
They missed Bruno Fernandes due to health problems and played Mason Mount instead. Ahead of him was Rasmus Hojlund who was assisted by Alejandro Garnacho and Antony on the flanks.
Arsenal will travel to Manchester where they will be hosted by the Premier League Champions at the Etihad, this is what they might be planning to mitigate City's goal scoring threat
Marcus Rashfordf was another big name player who missed this match due to an ankle injury. Just from this alone we can see why Manchester United underperformed in this match. But that is till no excuse for a top club like United.
This time around Manchester United will be packed with fit players following their latest acquisitions during the transfer period.
During his time at Chelsea, Raheem Sterling scored against Manchester City on three different occasions and as Arsenal play Pep Guardiola's men, it could be the time to unleash him.
What’s different in this match is that Manchester United will be play their new in form center back Matthijys De Ligt who will play alongside the roaring lion Lisandro Martinez.
Wan Bissaka was exchanged for Noussair Mazraoui who has shown that he has the quality a team like Manchester United demand.
Gor Mahia coach Leonardo Neiva wants his players to put up a great display against Al Ahly in Cairo so that they can market themselves to some of the continent’s big teams.
The player that will be the biggest boost for Erik Ten Hag will be Manuel Ugarte who is likely to replace Casermiro who was tuned inside out in the 4-0 loss last season.
He is more versatile, he is younger and he has the maturity required to fill in for an experienced player like Casemiro. It might be a huge ask of him but he will defineltly bring some difference in terms of closing gaps in the midfield because he is quicker than Casemiro.
All eyes will be on Manchester United as the head to Crystal Palace for their revenge.
