Man City fans delighted with Pep Guardiola team decision for Manchester United match

Manchester City fans are delighted with Pep Guardiola's decision to start Phil Foden in Sunday's Manchester derby.

City take will take on cross-town rivals Manchester United for the fourth time this season and will be hoping to equal the bragging rights by making it two victories each.

Kevin De Bruyne has missed out on the clash due to the back injury he suffered in the Carabao Cup victory over Aston Villa but there is some good news for City fans as Foden is in the starting XI.

The 19-year-old put in a man of the match performance at Wembley last weekend and when he was rested for Wednesday's FA Cup win against Sheffield Wednesday, fans theorised he was being rested for the trip to Old Trafford.

Their theories were correct as Foden has been named in the starting XI in the Premier League for just the third time this season and they couldn't be happier.

You can see a selection of their reactions below:

Man City starting XI vs Manchester United: Ederson; Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko; Bernardo, Rodri, Gundogan; Sterling, Aguero, Foden.

Substitutes: Bravo, Walker, Mendy, Garcia, Silva, Mahrez, Jesus.
