man u is short of strikers, rashford/martial just back from injuries, i doubt ETH will play them for the whole match, maybe as impact subs

how to stop man city? how to stop haaland, KDB and silva? i think ETH may tweak his formation slightly to try and stop the city midfield and attack, 4-1-3-2: DDG, dalot, malacia, varane, martinez, mctom, fernandes, casemiro, eriksen, antony, CR7

a more narrow and compact formation, casemiro to be the first line of defense against city. mctom to play as DMC, shielding the back four and can drop deep to become a third DC. fernandes/eriksen to provide creativity and create chances. the plan is to soak up the pressure and play on the counter, CR7/antony to serve as outlets

a draw is a good result, a win is a great result
