Manchester City lost two of their first three matches this season, and at The Etihad that is simply not acceptable. This is Man City, where the standards are always up in the stratosphere. So this Manchester Derby is basically now a high pressure grudge match. All Manchester derbies are high pressure rivalry clashes, but this one features two sides desperate for a win.
United are in full blown crisis mode, as nothing about the Ruben Amorim era has actually been good so far.
