The Red Devils will be eager to avenge their 6-3 loss in the first match of the season against their bitter rivals, who want to keep up with Arsenal in the title race.

The activity in the English Premier League carries on with a very special edition of the Manchester Derby. Both Manchester City and Manchester United have reasons to believe they can win this match, and to make things even more interesting, it seems that the build up for this match belongs to Manchester United, as their form has been better than the one shown by Pep Guardiola's team.

Manchester City make it to this game in second place of the tournament, but their morale for this game may not be as good following their two-nil loss to Southampton in the League Cup. This was their first loss of the year and saw the Cityzens dropping points for the second time in the span of four games, with the other clash being their unexpected draw against Everton on New Year's eve. The defending Premier League champions earned a one-nil win against Chelsea in their most recent EPL outing.

On the other side of the pitch, Manchester United are living quite a sweet moment. Their tumultuous end of 2022 is way behind them, and their form includes six wins across all competitions, four of those coming in EPL games. Manchester United's last loss came on November 6, when Aston Villa defeated them 3-1 and with Cristiano Ronaldo still being part of the team. Now, the Red Devils are flying in the competition and could secure the third spot all to themselves if they can beat their neighbors and Newcastle are not able to win their game.

This clash will give fans another chance to watch the exploits of Erling Haaland up front. The Norwegian ace has been an impressive addition to Pep's lineup, which has seen him score 21 goals in Premier League games in 16 apps for the Cityzens. It will be interesting to see how Manchester United's defense behaves against him, since the Norwegian ace scored a hat-trick on his last clash against Ten Hag's men.
