PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last home Manchester derby in the league was in March 2024, where City had fallen behind to a thunderous Marcus Rashford shot on eight minutes - against the run of play - and spent the next 50 minutes or so trying to find a way past a resolute United back-line.

But Phil Foden levelled on 56 minutes with a screamer into the top corner from 20 yards, then scored a delightful second ten minutes from the end of normal time.

Erling Haaland wrapped up the victory with a clinical finish following excellent work by Rodrigo to make it 3-1 in added time.

We have since faced United at Wembley twice, losing the FA Cup final in May, before securing a penalty shootout win in the Community Shield in August.

LAST TIME OUT

Our last league encounter ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw away to Crystal Palace, with City fighting from behind twice to earn a draw with ten men, after Rico Lewis was sent off.

On Wednesday night, we fell to UEFA Champions League defeat against Juventus in Turin, with Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie getting the goals for the hosts.

As for United, they fell to their first home league defeat under new manager Ruben Amorim, as Nottingham Forest claimed an impressive 3-2 victory at Old Trafford last weekend.

Amorim’s team are also in Europa League action on Thursday evening, travelling to Czech Republic to take on Viktoria Plzen.
