Manchester United vs Manchester City: preview
Manchester United
United head into the season’s second Manchester derby on a fine run of form, having won each of their last eight games in all competitions, including four in a row in the Premier League. In attack, Ten Hag’s men have been led by an on-fire Marcus Rashford, who has seven goals in his last six appearances for the club. The 25-year-old has reached 15 in total this term - three times as many as he managed in the entirety of last season.
Now fourth in the Premier League table, United would move to within one point of second-placed City with a win - and would gain revenge for their 6-3 walloping by the defending champions at the start of Ten Hag’s reign as Old Trafford boss. On that October day at the Etihad Stadium, City were 4-0 up by half time in a match that simply wasn’t a contest, so Saturday’s game will serve as a revealing yardstick of how far United have come since then.
Manchester City
Meanwhile, City go into this weekend’s clash on rather less of a hot streak. Having lost one and drawn one of their last four Premier League games, Pep Guardiola’s side have allowed leaders Arsenal to open up a five-point gap at the top of the table. What’s more, City were deservedly beaten by Southampton in the Carabao Cup in midweek, albeit they were missing several regular starters.
Nevertheless, United know they’re coming up against the division’s standard-setting club, a team that have been streets ahead of their crosstown rivals in recent years. Indeed, City are on a sequence of three straight victories against United, and have suffered just two Premier League defeats at Old Trafford in over a decade.
