Manchester City earned a third straight Champions League win on Wednesday and focus will now turn to domestic action and the small matter of a Manchester derby.

Pep Guardiola's side will make the short trip south for the 191st edition of the clash on Sunday, returning to Old Trafford and the scene of a rare defeat last season.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring that day in January but two quick-fire goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford turned victory into defeat.

City look set to have a near full-strength squad available for the game, although Manuel Akanji will be absent through suspension.
