Our cross-city rivals visit the Etihad Stadium in a 16:30 (UK) kick-off on Sunday 14 September for the first grudge match of the season.
It’s always a game that sits separate to the rest, with form pushed to the side and fire and fury taking its place.
We’ve seen that in recent seasons, with the likes of Erling Haaland and Phil Foden revelling in their derby day strikes.
This video charting our last 10 home Premier League goals against our nearest rivals starts only three seasons ago, when we hammered them 6-3 early on in the campaign.
That included hat-tricks for both Foden and Haaland on a day that few in attendance will ever forget.
It’s those two again in March 2024, with Foden really hammering home his credentials as the Premier League Player of the Season with two special strikes before Haaland added the gloss.
Finally there’s Josko Gvardiol’s header in last term’s game that for a long time looked likely to be the winner before a late United turnaround.
