His assistants will be Jake Collin and Steve Bennett while Mike Dean will act as fourth official.
Pep Guardiola's City travel will face Jose Mourinho's United at Old Trafford at 12.30pm, with one or both sides set to lose their 100 per cent start to this season's Premier League.
United boss Mourinho could be without both of his first-choice full-backs for the Old Trafford clash.
Mourinho has concerns over left-back Luke Shaw, who was forced to withdraw from England duty as a precaution, after suffering a calf problem during training.
The United boss also has a dilemma over right-back Antonio Valencia, who does not arrive back from international duty with Ecuador until just 24 hours before Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.
Mourinho must weigh up whether he can afford to take a gamble with Shaw and Valencia, or if he must reshuffle his defensive personnel ahead of such a seismic game.
