The Etihad will be brimming with noise and colour as bragging rights, momentum and pride all go on the line.

With City chasing another title and United desperate to prove their revival is real, the stage is set for another chapter in one of football’s fiercest rivalries.

Appearing on this week's House of Football, Graham O'Toole, Enda Coll and Gerard Brand have put their heads together to discuss the endless possibilities and all that is at stake this coming Sunday.

One of the show's key talking points was the trio's combined XI of Manchester players and what will come as no surprise to many, and a big surprise to some, is that only three United players were amongst the chosen eleven.

So wasting no more time, here is the House of Football's Manchester XI:

In net, we've got Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In defence, we've got Ruben Dias, Leny Yoro, and Josko Gvardiol.

In midfield, we've got Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Bruno Fernandes in CAM.

And up front, we've picked Erling Haaland and Matheus Cunha.

The selection is as much a reflection of City’s sustained dominance as it is of United’s ongoing rebuild.

With only three red shirts making the cut, it’s a stark reminder of how far the club still has to go to match its rivals but where the derby's concerned, anything can happen.

You can hear the full debate, including the tough calls and surprise omissions, on this week’s House of Football podcast, brought to you by Coca-Cola.

It's the perfect appetiser to Sunday's showdown.
