00:00Manchester United are only set to be about one player when they face Man City in the first Manchester derby of the new Premier League season this weekend.
00:09Ruben Amorim was speaking after United's comeback win over Victoria Pilsen on Thursday night and he confirmed that Luke Shaw is the only senior absentee for his side ahead of their trip to the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.
00:24Luke Shaw has been ruled out for a few weeks with a fresh hamstring issue. He's probably expected back towards the end of December and could be back in the United squad when they face Wolves on Boxing Day.
00:34Toby Collier and Victor Lindelof both travelled to Pilsen in midweek but were unused substitutes for the 2-1 win.
00:41While Jonny Evans didn't travel to Pilsen but has been training this week and should be in the United squad at the Etihad this weekend.
00:50Like we said, the first Manchester derby of the Premier League season. It was actually Eric Ten Haag who was in charge when United faced City in the Community Shield.
00:59The curtain raiser back on August 10th. Of course City won that game on penalties, a late equaliser from Bernardo Silva.
01:07Bernardo Silva and Harry Maguire are two players who are at the risk of suspension heading into the Manchester derby this weekend.
01:13Both of them have four yellow cards so far in the league campaign. If either of them pick up a yellow card it means they will serve an automatic one-match suspension.
01:21So the early team news for United, Luke Shaw the only player certain to miss the match on Sunday.
01:26Jonny Evans should be available if required. It remains to be seen just how many changes Amirim will make.
01:32He made five in midweek and we expect to see the likes of perhaps Mason Mount, Rasmus Hoyland starting at the Etihad on Sunday.
