Red Devils on a Winning Streak

Manchester United is set to host their local rivals, Manchester City, in a mouth-watering Premier League clash today. The Red Devils go into the game after securing three wins in a row, including a recent victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday.

City's Inconsistent Performances

On the other hand, Manchester City's performances have been far from convincing this season. Despite being the reigning Treble winners, they have narrowly edged past weaker opponents and have struggled in their home displays. They currently sit eighth in the Premier League table and have already suffered home losses to Crystal Palace and Brighton.

A Rivalry Renewed

When it comes to matches at Old Trafford, they don't get much bigger or tougher than when Manchester City makes the short trip across town. The two teams have had a fierce rivalry, with City winning their last two encounters against United. However, they haven't won at Old Trafford since November 2021.

Injury Concerns for Both Sides

Both teams have injury concerns heading into the derby. Manchester United will be without Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Meanwhile, Manchester City will have to cope without Manuel Akanji, who is serving a one-match ban, and will monitor Casemiro's fitness after an ankle injury.

Haaland vs Maguire

One of the key matchups to watch out for will be between Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Manchester United's Harry Maguire. Haaland, despite missing some big chances this season, has still managed to find the back of the net 11 times. Maguire, who has been impressive in recent games, will be tasked with marking the goal machine.
