The Manchester derby finished goalless after a game devoid of any genuine quality. The only first-half chance of note fell to Alejandro Garnacho, who could not make his mind up, letting Manchester City off the hook.

Pep Guardiola, back on the touchline after serving a one-game ban in midweek, made four changes to the Man City side that started the 2-0 victory against Leicester, including a recall for Kevin De Bruyne who captained the team on his final Manchester derby appearance.
