Sparkles will be flying when Manchester United welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford in a highly-anticipated local derby at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are aiming to return to winning ways after a 2-2 draw with Everton, having previously hammered Ipswich Town 5-2 in their first home game of the season. Manuel Ugarte, Amad Diallo, Carlos Baleba and Matthijs de Ligt remain sidelined, although United have enough depth to cope. Their last 10 matches average 3.50 goals, with BTTS landing in 60%.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are looking to maintain their perfect start after narrowly surviving Coventry City 1-0 at the weekend. Enzo Maresca has a full squad available apart from winger Jeremy Doku and will once again rely heavily on Erling Haaland to lead the line. City have won 60% of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.70 goals, while conceding just 1.00 per game. The H2H is extremely close, with City winning 23 of 51 meetings and United 22, while 55% produced over 2.5 goals.
United’s home games average 3.80 goals and given Man City's attacking potential with Haaland up front, Both Teams to Score seems like a sure bet, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 yellow cards (tense derby game).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 16:30.
