Manchester United are headed to the Etihad to play Manchester City in the 195th Manchester derby.
Both Manchester City and Manchester United come into Sunday's Premier League fixture with plenty of questions surrounding each team. The defending English champions have dropped points in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions and the Red Devils are coming off two consecutive Premier League defeats.
Past form always goes out the window, though, when it comes to the Manchester derby. Manchester United defeated Pep Guardiola's men in the 2024 FA Cup final despite finishing 31 points behind them in the 2023–4 Premier League standings. In fact, despite Manchester City's dominance over the last four years, they have fallen to their rivals five times since 2020.
With Manchester City still struggling with injuries and Manchester United still finding their footing under Ruben Amorim, the first Manchester derby of the 2024–5 Premier League season promises an unpredictable affair that could end with plenty of goals, drama and more.
