The first Manchester derby this season will unfold in front of the Sky cameras this Sunday – but how do the teams shape up going into the showdown?
Many football fans in England expect this derby match to be ideal for betting live.
The 188th meeting between the rivals kicks off Super Sunday this weekend, with hosts Manchester City unbeaten in 19 Premier League games – dating back to a 3-2 home defeat against Tottenham in February.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s current run of four successive league wins is their longest since April 2021 – a five-game winning streak that included a 2-0 win at the Etihad.
The fact both teams are in good form should come as no surprise – only Chelsea’s summer spending exceeded the £227m outlay at Old Trafford and, in Erling Haaland, City have a striker whose current strike-rate would see him end the season with 59 Premier League goals.
It’s quite possible that the combined cost of their starting line-ups this weekend will exceed £1bn.
