Leroy Sane hopes to make his debut for Manchester City at Manchester United on Saturday.
The Germany international has not featured for City since his £37.5million summer move from Schalke after suffering a hamstring injury in pre-season.
Sane said: "I've played in derby games in Germany but this should be a great match and one I'm really looking forward to, especially because Pep Guardiola is taking on Jose Mourinho.
"It should be a special game and we can sense the expectation all around the city from our supporters.
"It's going to be exciting and I hope I can play some part and help us bring back three points."
