Preview

A high-octane encounter is on the cards as it is time for the iconic Manchester Derby. Manchester City will play hosts to Manchester United at the City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday and it will truly be an exciting battle as both teams have been in form of late. The Citizens are still unbeaten in this Premier League season as they have won five of their seven matches so far, with two games ending in draws. They have been in rampaging attacking form as they have netted 23 goals already and have been doing terrific in terms of defense too, as they have conceded only six times in the seven games so far. Manchester United, on the other hand, have bounced back with four wins on the trot after starting the season with consecutive losses. While their offense hasnt been as lethal as Manchester City, they have certainly tightened the screws in defence as they have conceded only twice in the last four games. The Red Devils will be looking to deliver an equally good defensive performance here but they will need much more than that to beat Manchester City.
