Last Game: Wolves 0-3 Man City
Saturday, September 17 at 12.30pm in Premier League

We said: Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United

As impressive as their recent resurgence has been, Man United were gifted two of their goals against Arsenal by a leaky Gunners backline, and Ten Hag has a couple of concerns over his attacking line fitness and form-wise. The Red Devils are still finding their feet under Ten Hag, who prepares for a true test of mettle against a Man City side who are almost always in a free-scoring mood at the Etihad, and we can only envisage the champions coming out on top in Sunday's derby.
