The Premier League is back in action with another massive fixture this weekend as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City lock horns with arch-rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester United are currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The Red Devils were lacklustre in their 0-0 stalemate against Watford last week and cannot afford to drop points yet again in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and face another battle with Liverpool for the league title. The Cityzens edged Everton to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want to achieve a similar result this weekend.
