Man City Form

Man City are winless in nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions, losing seven. Four of those defeats came in the Premier League.

The Citizens were winless in seven, conceding 19, before beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola’s side couldn’t build momentum and were held to a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.

Another setback came on Wednesday after City lost 2-0 at Juventus in the Champions League. The Citizens couldn’t utilise their 68% possession and conceded two second-half goals.

Man City Injuries & Team News

Defender Rico Lewis was sent off during the Palace draw and is suspended here.

Defensive trio John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji are carrying injuries and will miss out here.

Midfielder Rodri and forward Oscar Bobb have long-term injuries and won’t feature.

Man United Form

Man United have dropped to 13th in the 2024/25 Premier League. United are winless in three of their last four league matches.

The Red Devils’ only league victory under Ruben Amorim was a 4-0 home triumph over Everton. Back-to-back losses followed against Arsenal (2-0) and Nottingham Forest (3-2).

Amorim’s side had to fight back from a goal down to earn a 2-1 Europa League win against Viktoria Plzen. United conceded first, had eight shots on target and Rasmus Hojlund’s late double sealed all three points.

Man United Injuries & Team News

Centre-back Jonny Evans is expected to return to the squad following a recent injury.

Full-back Luke Shaw is sidelined until 2025 after an injury setback.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund has scored five goals in his last four appearances in all competitions.

Verdict

Man City v Man Utd

With Man City and Man United lacking consistency, sticking with goals is a good shout in the Manchester Derby. The rivals are poor defensively and more goals can come at the Etihad.
