Premier League action will continue on Sunday as Manchester United will go head-to-head with Manchester City at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils triumphed 2-1 over their arch-rivals in the reverse fixture in December following late strikes from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo.
Match Preview
Manchester United are set to achieve their worst-ever points total in the Premier League era.
Their lowest tally was 58, which came under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick in the 2021-22 season.
To match that number, the Red Devils must win seven of their remaining eight matches, which is looking very unlikely.
Ruben Amorim’s side will be coming off a disappointing 1-0 away loss to Nottingham Forest.
Anthony Elanga came to haunt them, as United’s former player struck the decisive goal within the opening five minutes.
Manchester City, on the other hand, cruised to a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Leicester City on Wednesday.
Jack Grealish delivered an early breakthrough before Omar Marmoush added another on the half-hour mark to wrap up a win that put them just a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Team News
Manchester City will not be able to call upon the services of Erling Haaland, Rodri, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and John Stones as they are all confined to the infirmary.
Meanwhile, Manchester United news is not very positive for their fans either, with Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Jonny Evans, Amad Diallo and Ayden Heaven all sidelined with fitness issues. But Luke Shaw has returned to training and could be involved in Sunday’s fixture.

Manchester United vs Manchester City prediction
The Manchester clubs have had an unconvincing campaign, but United have been far worse than their city rivals in 2024-25. Pep Guardiola’s side are now fighting for a Champions League finish, while the Red Devils are trying to build momentum and win games.
Amorim’s side will play on home soil, but we expect City to edge the contest on Sunday.
Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City
