Derby matches are always interesting regardless of who wins the match. So far we probably already know who is the favorite in derby matches, especially in the last few seasons. Manchester City can almost always win matches against Manchester United where they have recorded 6 wins and 1 draw in the last 10 matches in all competitions.
In the last 5 meetings in the Premier League, Manchester City won 4 matches and lost 1. Therefore, I don't think Manchester United will get a win in this derby match because the performance of both teams is completely different.

The Manchester derby is one of the most important derbies in the Premier League. Every year the world talks about whether Manchester will be blue or red. In fact, it's not only a Manchester derby, it's also a world derby.
Looking at the statistics, we see that Manchester City have dominated this rivalry in recent years. Manchester City have won 5 titles in the Premier League in the last 6 seasons and they are the strong favorites for the title this season. Derby matches are always open to surprise results but I think they are the favorites in this match.
There is no need to start thinking about who will win the match because we can use their current performance, and the current state of the players to know the winner. It will be impossible for United to win City, because they are not strong compare to last season. United lost their last match which they were leading with 1-0 last weekend.
City is now back and better, with consistency in their matches. All their players are in good form, my fear is that let them not score so many goals against United on that day. If United can draw this match, it means that they are lucky.
