Man City v Man Utd Match Prediction – Preview
Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City finished at second in the EPL table before the international break. Their last league match saw them thrash Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 at the Etihad. At just the first minute, Kevin De Bruyne set up Jack Grealish for a goal. Fifteen minutes later, talisman Erling Haaland right-footed from outside the box to double the lead. Wolves’ Nathan Collins would be sent off at the 33rd minute adding to their woes, and De Bruyne once again assists in a goal with Phil Foden right-footing his cross. Manager Pep Guardiola was pleased with his men’s performance, as they had just come from Champions League football against Haaland’s former club Dortmund. Can they once again assert their dominance against local rivals Man Utd this weekend?
Man City are looking to win 3 consecutive EPL matches against Man Utd for the first time since a run on 4 between April 2013 and November 2014.
The Citizens have won their last 7 EPL home matches, scoring at least 3 goals each time. The last side to triumph in 8 straight top-flight home matches while scoring 3+ goals were Spurs between March and September 1965.
Manchester United F.C.
Manchester United are seated 5th in the table, trailing Man City by 5 points. In their last league match, they defeated current leaders Arsenal 3-1 at Old Trafford. Antony opened the scoring with a left-footed shot from the right of the box. Bukayo Saka would level for the Gunners 15 minutes after the restart, but Marcus Rashford scored a brace afterwards to deal Arsenal their first season loss. Erik ten Hag’s side would then figure in two Europa League matches with mixed results: a 0-1 loss against Real Sociedad and a 2-1 victory against Sheriff (with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo each scoring). Can the Red Devils continue their resurgence against their hated rivals at the Etihad?
Man Utd have lost 17 EPL matches against Man City home matches, only losing more times against Liverpool (18) and Chelsea (18) in the competition’s history.
The Red Devils have won their last 4 EPL matches, having lost 4 in a row prior to that. They last won 5 consecutive league games in April 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Man City v Man Utd Match Prediction – Final Thoughts
With Man City in top form a third straight title, and Man Utd finding their footing under Ten Hag, this Manchester Derby has all the makings of a thriller. However, the still-raw Red Devils may not find the same luck they did against Arsenal. The Citizens under Guardiola are a well-oiled machine that just got stronger in the transfer window, and they should fend off a valiant effort by the visitors. On that note, let’s take a look at the prediction.
