Manchester City will be going in search of a fourth successive win in all competitions when they face neighbours Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Man City have survived without Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland and that is a problem for their rivals

It's been a long time coming, but in the 85th minute of Manchester City's 36th game of the season, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland finally combined for the first time in 2023/24. A through-ball played with precision and a finish that required strength and then poise, it was a classic combo from the Etihad's star turns.
It was Haaland's second goal of the 2-0 win against Everton and his first since November 28. But also his 20th and 21st of the season in all competitions and he remains the Premier League's top goalscorer. De Bruyne was providing his fourth assist in as many league games since returning from hamstring surgery.
But the fact it has taken until the 10th day of February for the Belgian to create a goal for the Norwegian points to City's biggest issue this season.

Not so for City, however. After Pep Guardiola watched his star duo start together at the Etihad for the first time since beating Real Madrid 4-0 in May, he toasted those members of his squad who had kept the show on the road in the meantime.
Because while De Bruyne and Haaland are now very much back, that they are returning to a team chasing a second successive treble owes plenty to 'what their mates have done', as Guardiola said.
The edgy win against the Toffees on Saturday, which briefly City took top of the league for the first time since mid-November, might suggest otherwise, but you could argue that the Blues have already ridden out the

The Partnership: ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ Director Justine Triet And Star Sandra Huller On Reuniting For Their Award-Winning Film, A Scary Sleepover And A Possible Threepeat
Palme d’Ors don’t grow on trees, so it’s small wonder that the world has fallen for Justine Triet’sAnatomy of a Fall, and the outstanding lead performance of Sandra Hüller, since it won the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize. Hüller’s turn dominates the ‘sort of’ courtroom drama of the film, in which her German novelist — also called Sandra — is accused of pushing her French husband Samuel (Samuel Theis), also a writer, from the top floor of their alpine home. Sandra maintains he fell, or jumped, and the film spends much of its runtime chewing over the truth, though never revealing it.
