Manchester City could be without six players when they face Manchester United at the Etihad.
The first Manchester derby of the 2024–25 Premier League season will feature a Manchester City team not at full strength. Although Pep Guardiola welcomed Mateo Kovačić and Phil Foden back to the squad midweek, the defending English champions are still without several starters due to injury and suspension.
City's continued injury woes are a major reason why Guardiola's side have won just one fixture in its last 10 matches across all competitions. Just four days after a disappointing 2–0 loss to Juventus in the Champions League, the injury-riddled Citizens are back in action against their biggest rivals.
Here's every player expected to miss out against Manchester United on Dec. 15.
