Manchester United heads to local rival Manchester City on a four-match winning run and needing a plan to stop the irrepressible Erling Haaland.

Lille lifted the title in 2021 and hopes to get back in contention for European football after a disappointing mid-table finish last season. Surprise package Lorient can consolidate third place by extending its winning streak to five games when it hosts Lille in the league. Center forward Duvan Zapata is expected back from injury for Atalanta, which uncharacteristically has struggled to score while conceding just three goals for the stingiest defense in Serie A. Luka Modric will miss the match against Osasuna due to a muscle issue while playing for Croatia during the international break. Osasuna has impressed with four wins and two losses, but it will be without its best weapon as Chimy Ávila serves a one-game suspension. The France striker missed three matches for the club while mending a right leg injury, but Madrid kept on winning without him anyway.
