Coming off three-straight wins, United are looking to keep their perfect start of the season going against league leaders City.

The Red Devils are coming off a 1-nil win over Hull City, which nearly saw then drop two points until Marcus Rashford’s injury-time winner stole all the points.

Once again, all eyes will be on the strikers, particularly Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has found the net three times in three games for United, including a double against Southampton.

Until 2015, United had lost four derby games in a row against City, however they are unbeaten against their rivals in their last three, winning two – another win, and they are on their way to making Manchester red once again.

The Citizens have likewise had a perfect start in season 2016-17, and are coming off an efficient performance in which they dismantled West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Rahim Sterling proved his worth scoring early and late, as Fernandinho bagged one of his own in the 18th minute.

City will be forced to take on the Red Devils without star striker Sergio Aguero, who will miss the derby due to suspension.

The last time these two sides faced off was back in March, as Rashford scored in the 16th minute for United to take a 1-nil win away from home.

Prediction
United possess the fire power, while City have the experienced, tighter backline. However, without the threat of Aguero up front, the Red Devils’ job has been made just a little easier at home.

Manchester United 1-0 Manchester City
