Man United have turned around their form just in time for this huge fixture, but City’s class should trump that, as the saying suggests.

While picking up the four straight victories, the Dutchman has also settled on a midfield setup with Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen operating in (effectively) a double pivot with Bruno Fernandes the most advanced of the three. Each of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Fernandes have scored twice during the winning run, with new boy Antony also getting in on the fun on his debut. That’s not to say it’s been easy as Manchester City go through a tactical shift of their own to better appeal to the big Norwegian’s poaching abilities.

Manchester Joined is right now in the fifth spot in the Chief Association standings and has worked on after an unfortunate beginning to their mission.

Manchester City has won their last seven Chief Association matches at the Etihad Arena and have scored somewhere around three objectives in every one of these games. manchester Joined has lost a sum of 17 matches against Manchester City in the Head Association – they have experienced more association overcomes just against Chelsea and Liverpool. manchester City is hoping to win three sequential matches against Manchester Joined interestingly since a run of four triumphs in 2014.

Manchester United are finally returning to Premier League action this weekend after a three week break since the win over Arsenal.

We are going to take a leap of faith and say Martial starts up front against City, his first start of the season. There will be plenty of opportunities ahead for the former Real Madrid ace. He also had a rest in midweek, while Casemiro played for Brazil on Tuesday night. However, this would be an opportunity for Ten Hag to build relations with Ronaldo by selecting him for a big fixture, and a big performance would lift his confidence. [ there’s a compelling case to start him with his pace able to put pressure on the City defence.](https://www.unitedinfocus.com/news/erik-ten-hag-must-be-considering-starting-anthony-elanga-over-cristiano-ronaldo-in-manchester-derby/) It’s unclear whether this is a good time to play City after the break and catch them cold, but United have lost all the momentum from a winning run too.
