Manchester City – Manchester United
The 158th edition of the prestigious Manchester derby awaits us on Sunday. While City are once again having a fantastic season and are still in contention for the title in three competitions, things are not quite as glamorous in the red part of Manchester. The Red Devils finished bottom of their group in the Champions League and will no longer have a say in the championship. Only the FA Cup remains for Erik ten Hag to finish the season with a title.
Nevertheless, United have stabilized somewhat in the Premier League and have only lost one of their last six games. They are currently 6th in the table with 44 points. Nevertheless, the challenge posed by the visit of the Citizens is maximum, as Pep Guardiola’s team is simply too strong. City’s last defeat came against Aston Villa at the beginning of December and they are in 2nd place in the Premier League with 59 points

Man City Form & Balance Check
City are still right on target. They are unbeaten in eleven Premier League games and have won nine of them. With 59 points in the league, they are still hot on Liverpool’s heels and are just waiting for the Reds’ next mistake to take the lead again.
They also have a flawless record in the Champions League so far, winning every game there. However, Chelsea proved that they are not invincible two matchdays ago when they snatched a point from City at home to keep the championship fight exciting, as Liverpool are only one point ahead in the table
Man City facts & analysis
- Make no mistake in the Champions League
- Not lost in eleven games
- Third-best offense & defense in the Premier League
Man United Form & Balance Check
The Red Devils continue to struggle with fluctuations in form, but have been much more consistent in recent games. After five games without defeat – including four wins – they suffered another bitter 2-1 defeat against 12th-placed Fulham on the last matchday.
United’s offense in particular is still often lacking; with only 36 goals, they continue to have incredible difficulties in converting chances, with only seven teams in the league scoring fewer goals than United. That will certainly be a problem again against City (third-best defense), as they were also unable to score against City in the first leg
Man United facts & analysis
- Very weak offense with 36 goals
- Last game lost
- Lost the first leg 3-0
