The Premier League returns to the fold with another edition of the Manchester Derby this weekend as Manchester City lock horns with arch-rivals Manchester United in an important encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester City are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Red Devils defeated Burnley by a narrow 3-2 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
