Manchester City XI vs Man United: Confirmed team news and starting lineup - Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling start

Alex Young @alexwsyoung6 January 2021

Manchester City are still dealing with Covid-19 issues as they face rivals Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup tonight.

City are looking to win the competition for the fourth time in a row, and sixth time in eight years, and will reach another final - against Tottenham this time - with victory at Old Trafford this evening.

As many as six first-team players have been sidelined with Covid-19, leading to goalkeeper Zack Steffen making his Premier League debut in the 3-1 win at Chelsea.

Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker are on the bench after serving 10 days of self-isolation. However, Ferran Torres, Ederson, Tommy Doyle and Eric Garcia are all still out.

Steffen keeps his place in goal. Phil Foden scored one and assisted another at Stamford Bridge, and lines up against United.

Ilkay Gundogan starts after being assessed after taking a knock against Chelsea. Nathan Ake failed a late fitness test ahead of the weekend, and is out here.

Man City XI: Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Subs: Trafford, Walker, Jesus, Aguero, Rodrigo, Mendy, Nmecha, Harwood-Bellis, Mbete
