MATCH FACTS

-

Manchester City have won just two of their last eight matches against Manchester United in all competitio­ns (D2 L4) since winning four in a row between 2013 and 2014.

Manchester United, who won 3-2 at the Etihad last season, despite going 2-0 down, are looking to win back-to back Premier League games at the stadium for just the second time, also doing so with wins in November 2008 and April 2010.

There have been just three occasions of a team scoring 24+ goals after six home games in a Premier League season, with City responsibl­e for all three (2013-14, 2017-18 and 2018-19).

Manchester United have conceded 18 goals in their 11 Premier League games this season. It took them 25 games until January 31 to concede as many in the competitio­n last season.

Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling is yet to score against United in the Premier League, attempting 19 shots in 12 games without success.
