In Matchweek 22 of the English Premier League, fans will get the blockbuster they’ve been waiting for — Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City travel to face Manchester United. Ahead of the derby, several reliable sources have predicted the likely starting lineups for the match.
Many outlets expect the teams to begin today’s game with the following lineups.
- Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha, Sesko.
- Manchester City: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Alleyn, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo, Cherki, Foden, Semenyo, Haaland.
At the same time, some sites note that Ake could start in City’s back line instead of Alleyn. For Manchester United, it is also said that Amad Diallo, who recently returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, could feature in the starting XI.
Most importantly, different sources are almost unanimous: today our compatriot Abduqodir Khusanov is expected to be in the lineup. In a high-pressure derby, the Uzbek name could be heard on the pitch once again — and there can hardly be a better sign for fans.
For reference, the upcoming clash kicks off today at 17:30 Tashkent time.
