Manchester City are missing a host of players for the derby against Manchester United
Manchester City will welcome Manchester United to the Etihad this weekend with Pep Guardiola battling a defensive crisis.
Guardiola spoke in his pre match press conference about potentially doing something different and asking a midfielder to play out of position at full back - he cited Mathues Nunes - or perhaps operating with a back five and attack minded wing backs."I don't know what I have to do," Guardiola said. "Maybe some winger has to play as a full-back or Matheus can play as a full-back, or maybe can play five at the back with wing-backs as wingers.
That would allow for the control of Matteo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan with the creativity of Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne behind Erling Haaland.
