Manchester United and Manchester City kick off Saturday’s Premier League 2021-22 fixtures in a hotly anticipated Manchester derby at Old Trafford. Two places and three points divide the bitter rivals in the Premier League points table currently, however one manager will certainly be under more pressure than his counterpart this week.
After a 5-0 drubbing handed by Liverpool, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men prevailed comfortably in North London with a 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out. The Red Devils managed to pull themselves out of their rut with victory at HotSpurs Stadium, they are hanging on to their fifth-placed position in the table after 10 matches and are three points adrift of their cross-town rivals.
On the other hand, Manchester City were undone by Crystal Palace 2-0 last weekend. However, Pep Guardiol’s unit responded in an ideal fashion against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League, easing to a 4-1 win on Thursday.
With both teams raring to go full throttle in this high-octane fixture, it will be interesting to see which of the Manchester team comes out as a winner.
The Premier League 2021-22 match between Manchester United and Manchester City will kick off at 06:00 pm (IST).
