It has not been a great start to the season for either Manchester club as they prepare to do battle after the international break.
Despite losing 1-0 to Arsenal on the opening day and being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby Town, Manchester United sit one point above Manchester City.
City started the campaign with an impressive 4-0 win at Wolves but have lost to Brighton and Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur in their last two games. United beat Burnley last time out and go into the derby one point above City.
