Man Utd vs Man City odds
After a tough start to the season, Erik ten Hag has got his side back on track, with the Red Devils winning each of their last three matches across all competitions. First, Scott McTominay scored twice in stoppage time for a comeback win against Brentford, before the Scot scored again (and gave away a penalty) against Sheffield United in a 2-1 win and then finally, United picked up their first three points in the Champions League this term, thanks to a goal from Harry Maguire and a late penalty save from Andre Onana.
Man City, however, will be an altogether different challenge. Pep Guardiola’s men put their defeat to title rivals Arsenal before the international break behind them with back-to-back wins over Brighton and Young Boys, as they continue their quest for another incredible treble.
Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Manchester City have won 13 of their 24 Premier League meetings with Manchester United (D3 L8), more than any other side in that time. Their previous 13 league wins over the Red Devils had come over a 62 game period between 1970 and 2011. While, City have won more Premier League away games against Manchester United than any other side (8), with seven of their eight wins at Old Trafford coming in their last 12 visits.
