We asked AI to simulate the outcome of the upcoming Man City vs Man United game, and it predicted this outcome…
Man United are preparing for their first Manchester derby of the season against rivals Manchester City, who have also struggled so far this season. Both clubs have won just one of their opening three games, with United’s coming just before the international break against Burnley with a 3-2 score line.
The Red Devils will see a real test against City, and the game could provide them with a real check to see where they stand compared to their rivals moving forward.

It will also likely see the first start for new goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who joined at Old Trafford to replace Andre Onana, who left on loan for Turkish side Trabzonspor.
But how could the game go on Sunday afternoon, and what are the most likely outcomes? We asked Chat GPT to run 10,000 simulations, and this is what it said…
Man City 2-1 Man United: Most likely outcome
After asking AI to simulate the game 10,000 times, it said that the most frequent score line was a 2-1 win for Manchester City at the Etihad. Potentially, this indicates that Sunday’s match could be a close affair, after both sides have struggled to gain much momentum so far this season.
AI said that there is a 10.5% chance of a 2-1 score line, which was the most, it came ahead of a 2-0 win for City (9%), a 1-0 win for City (7%), and a 3-1 win for Man City (7%). So, despite the poor start from Pep Guardiola’s side, AI does think they will win.
It said that Man United have just an 18% chance of winning the game, a 20.11% chance to draw the game, and a 61.89% chance to lose away from home. However, it did say that it expects Man United to score, and that the game should be close based on the expected goals metric, so there is certainly a chance for Ruben Amorim’s side as far as AI is concerned.
