Aguero had scored six goals in four matches so far this season before being handed his ban. Oh, and he also netted the victor in his first Manchester derby.
MANCHESTER, England – New Manchester City keeper Claudio Bravo will be thrown into the Manchester derby for his Premier League debut.
Summer signing Ibrahimovic has started the season as a bonafide first-choice striker in the United line-up, and the club have won each of their opening three Premier League games, with the Sweden worldwide scoring three goals.
“He will be very relaxed and sure about what he wants from his players, he usually gives you the flawless plan”, Henry said.
Fosu-Mensah’s physicality arguably gave him the edge over Darmian-his crossing is also excellent-while the former Torino man clearly has the edge when it comes to experience, having featured in the World Cup, the European Championships and the Champions League.
Iheanacho was elevated to the senior squad in the summer of 2015 and scored 14 goals in his breakthrough year last season, including a victor in his second league start and a hat trick in an FA Cup game.
With Sergio Aguero suspended for this weekend, Iheanacho is in line for a start at Old Trafford in what might be the biggest game of his life.
Kevin De Bruyne wants to win the Manchester derby for the fans, but says it is only three points.
Both Guardiola’s City and Jose Mourinho’s United have made ideal starts to the Premier League campaign and Saturday’s victor will top the table outright should Chelsea fail to claim a fourth victory. “Maybe since the new owners arrived at Man City”, Mourinho said. “We can start some matches with a player in front of Zlatan”.
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho’s history from past clubs only intensifies the Manchester derby that much more.
“We try to reduce the unpredictability of the game”, Mourinho said.

“I have played in many derby games, I’ve played in El Clasico, the Inter-Milan derby, Ajax and Feyenoord, which was the big one there, and PSG-Marseille. It feels a bit of a contradiction, but without Aguero it’s more hard”.
