The 192nd Manchester derby is set to unfold at the Etihad Stadium on another pivotal day in the Premier League title race. Manchester City aims to narrow the gap to just one point behind leaders Liverpool following their dramatic victory over Nottingham Forest last Saturday.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new minority owner of Manchester United, has expressed his ambition to dethrone City from their dominant position, adding significance to this match for Erik ten Hag as he endeavors to prove his worth as the club’s manager in this new chapter.
With City enjoying a 15-point lead over United and having secured a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in October, Erling Haaland seeks to inflict further anguish upon their rivals, especially after his remarkable five-goal performance against Luton.
