Man City projected lineup vs Manchester United: Will Enzo Fernandez start again?

Manchester City prepares for a high-stakes Premier League derby against Manchester United under new manager Enzo Maresca. The article details the projected lineup and injury updates for key players like Jérémy Doku and Nico O'Reilly.
Why it matters
The match represents a significant test for Maresca's undefeated start at Manchester City against a major rival.
Manchester City has its biggest test under new manager Enzo Maresca as it visits rival Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, Sept. 13.
City has won all four of its matches under Maresca so far, earning three straight Premier League wins before a 2-0 midweek Champions League victory at Porto.
But United should be a formidable challenge as City looks to atone for a 2-0 defeat in the sides' last meeting back in January.
City will not have the services of star winger Jérémy Doku , who is still dealing with a calf injury. But Nico O'Reilly is available off the bench after suffering an injury in warm-ups ahead of a win over Coventry City on Saturday, Sept. 5.
Maresca has opted for Enzo Fernández and Elliot Anderson in holding midfield, with the pair beating out impressive fellow newcomer Ayyoub Bouaddi .
