Ruben Amorim is considering handing Benjamin Sesko his first Premier League start in Sunday's Manchester derby against City.

The centre-forward joined from RB Leipzig during the transfer window and appeared off the bench in each of our three league games so far.

He played the full match against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, and scored his penalty in the shootout, but has been eased into action at his new club.

After gaining more minutes for Slovenia during the international break, he could be ready to make the XI and face the Blues at the Etihad Stadium.

"I think more than looking at exactly what he did during the games, it is what he can bring to our team," Amorim said of Sesko, during the second half of his press conference to preview the 16:30 BST kick-off, when asked about the striker's comments about the pace of the Premier League.
