City Take Perfect Record to Old Trafford for Derby

Manchester City travel to Old Trafford on Sunday for the first derby of the season with a perfect record under new manager Enzo Maresca, while Manchester United look to build on their own positive start under permanent boss Michael Carrick. City have won all three of their Premier League matches and opened their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Porto on Tuesday. United, meanwhile, have taken four points from their first three league games and secured a 4-0 Champions League win over Sabah on Thursday. The match pits two managers with contrasting early-season fortunes against each other. Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola, has overseen a flawless start, though some observers have questioned whether the wins have been fully convincing. Carrick, who led United to a 2-0 derby victory in January as interim manager, now has the role on a permanent basis and has seen his side score freely at home, netting nine goals in two matches against Ipswich and Sabah. Injury news could play a significant role. City winger Jeremy Doku is ruled out with a calf injury. For United, left-back Luke Shaw is a major doubt and will undergo a late fitness test.
