Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have been the trendsetters in the Premier League for the past couple of the seasons. Despite United delaying City's league celebrations last season with a thrilling 2-3 victory at the Etihad, this campaign it was walk in the park for the home side.

The defending champions dominated proceedings from the word go. United, conceding three in that match which could have been more had the Cityzens taken all their chances.

Similarly, in the last game against Liverpool, the home side had almost six times as many attempts as the Red Devils. It was one of the worst performances by Manchester United under Jose Mourinho. The defeat took United nineteen points behind Jurgen Klopp's side which itself is an embarrassment for the 13-time Premier League Champions.
