Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for Sunday's Manchester derby with Manchester United in the Premier League.

Manchester City could be boosted by the return of Aymeric Laporte for Sunday's Manchester derby against Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

The Spain centre-back has now returned to full training after spending months out with a knee injury and will likely take up a spot on the bench as he builds up his match fitness.

With Laporte among the substitutes, Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji should continue to partner up in front of Ederson, and Pep Guardiola has also been handed a fresh blow with John Stones.

The England international sustained a hamstring injury in Monday's 3-3 draw with Germany and is now facing up to two weeks out, but Kyle Walker is now fully fit again and ready to take up his regular right-back spot, with Joao Cancelo on the left.

Kalvin Phillips is out for the long term after undergoing shoulder surgery, but he would have had little to no chance of displacing Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne this weekend.

Phil Foden, Erling Braut Haaland and Jack Grealish all found the back of the net against Wolverhampton Wanderers before the international break, and the latter will hope to keep Ilkay Gundogan at bay after putting in a much-improved shift at Molineux.

Haaland's strike against Wolves represented his 11th in the Premier League this term, and he could now make history as the first-ever player to score a hat-trick in three successive home games in the competition.

Man City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Cancelo; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
