City and United both signed new goalkeepers at the end of the transfer window and the two teams meet on Sunday in the Premier League

Gianluigi Donnarumma is a different kind of goalkeeper than Manchester City's former first-choice Ederson, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday, adding that he would not ask the Italian to replicate his predecessor's role played for the club.

According to predictions from the Opta supercomputer, Manchester City has a winning probability of 65.6% in this match, while Manchester United's chance of winning is only 15.8%, with a draw probability of 18.

Pep Guardiola has plenty of selection dilemmas on his hands as he plots victory for Manchester City over Manchester United. Man City host the first Manchester derby of the season on Sunday afternoon hoping to end a run of successive defeats after losing to Tottenham and Brighton before the international break.

The new goalkeepers could take centre stage in the Manchester derby on Sunday.

Italian media have revealed the bonus structure outlined by Manchester City in Gianluigi Donnarumma’s contract at the Etihad Stadium. The Italy No.1 completed a deadline day switch to the Premier League giants from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth around £26 million, penning a five-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months.

Donnarumma is seen as the replacement of Man City’s former goalkeeper Ederson, who left the club a few weeks ago to join Turkish team Fenerbahçe. In a press conference, Guardiola was asked about Donnarumma’s qualities and if he signed him to replace Ederson.
