Match preview

The Manchester derby is upon us at a rare kick off time of 12:30 as Erik ten Hag looks to forget all about the 6-3 hammering delivered by the champions in his derby debut back in October with Pep Guardiola’s men desperate to win to stay close to Arsenal.

Although far from a mathematical conclusion, losing here and seeing the Gunners win would be disastrous for Guardiola’s side. It would create a gap of eight points between the top two while United themselves will get to within just one point of City too.

United may have lost 6-3 to City back in October, but they have gone on to avoid defeat in 17 of their next 18 games.

Aston Villa have been the only side to beat them, with the Red Devils advancing out of the Europa League group stages, into the semi-finals of the EFL Cup and the next FA Cup round - they remain the only English side in four competitions.

City have only lost to Brentford and Liverpool since and it only makes this Manchester derby more intriguing as a result. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden netted hat-tricks against their neighbours back in October, and despite Haaland continuing to score, Marcus Rashford has gone on to steal the headlines lately with 15 goals in 25 games.
