Manchester United aim to knock Manchester City off their perch at the top of the Premier League when they welcome their cross-city rivals to Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Citizens have made a fast start under new manager Enzo Maresca, winning all three of their league matches under the Italian so far to narrowly edge Arsenal at the top of the division on goal difference.
United's early performances have been more of a mixed bag. Opening day defeat to Hull would have disappointed manager Michael Carrick, however, they responded well when dismantling Ipswich 5-2 on home soil.
It looked as if the Red Devils were heading for all three points away at Everton last Sunday, however, Ainsley Maitland-Niles had other ideas, producing a stunning strike to salvage a point for the Toffees in the dying embers at the Hill Dickinson.
The most recent clash between United & City saw fans from red half of Manchester come away with bragging rights. Bryan Mbeumo opening the scoring at Old Trafford before Patrick Dorgu stormed in at the back post to give his side a two-goal advantage.
United are 9/4 to take all three points on Sunday and 22/1 to repeat the 2-0 scoreline.
Although you have to go back almost two years to find the last time both sides scored in a Manchester derby, goals are expected on Sunday, with both teams to score priced at 4/9. Only the eight goals scored by Chelsea and Brighton this season eclipse the seven-strong tally amassed by both United and City from their opening three league games.
11/10 says that the Citizens will extend their winning sequence and come away with a win on Sunday; a feat they last accomplished in 2023 when Phil Foden's late strike added to an Erling Haaland brace.
