#3 The Citizens' Dream Run

The win
The winning streak seems to be unstoppable...

Manchester City is having a potentially record-breaking season here. The way they dominate the matches can be seen clearly in numbers.

In the 15 matches played, City has had 70% or more possession on more than 10 occasions while United has only two such occasions. The average possession enjoyed by City this season has been 64%, while United is far behind with 51%.

The Citizens have scored 46 goals in the 15 matches while United have managed 35, which is 11 goals lesser. Even the average pass accuracy has City bettering United's 83% with their 89%.

Therefore, going purely by numbers, City is easily the superior side. The way the Citizens are going about their business this season, it looks improbable that United will get the better of them.

In fact, any team is going to find it tough to get to the end of a match with a smile on their faces. So going by the statistics of this season alone, one can easily predict a win for Manchester City.
