Man Utd preview: Winds of change at Old Trafford
After more than two years at the helm of Manchester United, during which time he was constantly under pressure, Erik ten Hag has left the building. He will be replaces by Ruben Amorim, but Man Utd legend Ruud van Nistelrooy will take care of the team against Chelsea, just like he did against Leicester in the EFL Cup, where he notched a convincing 5-2 win.
In other news, Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, and Mason Mount are out with injuries, while Christian Eriksen is questionable.
Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho & Hojlund

Chelsea preview: Hoping to put the EFL Cup loss behind
The Blues have been in solid form lately, losing just one of their last six games in the Premier League. Overall, they are fifth in the standings with 17 points from nine games, seven points behind league leaders Man City. However, Chelsea enter the derby with Manchester United after losing to Newcastle in the EFL Cup.
Meanwhile, only Omari Kellyman is on Chelsea's injury list at this time, but the Blues will also be without Jadon Sancho since he can't play against his parent club.
Predicted lineup: Sanchez (GK), James, Fofana, Colwill, Gusto, Caicedo, Lavia, Madueke, Palmer, Neto & Jackson

Player to watch: Cole Palmer
With seven goals and five assists in the Premier League this season, Palmer has been in sensational form and the young Englishman will hope to keep that form going in derby against Manchester United.
