Manchester United vs Manchester City: Derby Preview, Team News and Predicted Line-ups

Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday, 13 September, in a Premier League Matchday 4 derby. United are chasing back-to-back league derby wins for the first time in 16 years, while City arrive with a perfect start to the season. United have recovered from an opening-day loss to Hull City with a win over Ipswich Town, a draw at Everton and a convincing Champions League victory over Sabah FK.

City have won all of their matches so far, including a 2-0 Champions League win over Porto. Erling Haaland has started strongly, and Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki and Enzo Fernandez are expected to provide attacking support. Jeremy Doku remains sidelined, while Nico O’Reilly is back in contention. United lead the overall head-to-head record with 76 wins to City’s 60, with 52 draws from 188 meetings.
