They lost consecutive matches with Rodri out on a suspension, but they have won both games since his return. With Kevin De Bruyne out long-term, Rodri is even more integral, but City have plenty of creative pieces. And, of course, they have star striker Erling Haaland. United have yielded 13 goals, two more than they have scored, while City have a 19-7 advantage in goals in their nine matches.
Haaland snapped a brief goal drought with his league-leading ninth last Saturday, then he scored twice in the Champions League victory against Young Boys on Wednesday. Rodri has two goals and one assist and leads the league in passes into the final third. United have four more shots than City, but the Citizens have 13 more on target, as the Red Devils put just 29.4% on net. City have allowed just 61 shots, and only 19 of those have been on net over the nine matches, both fewest in the EPL. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Man UnitedThe Red Devils are off to a poor start, but they rallied from a similar position to finish third in the EPL last season. They have been grinding out victories lately, winning three in a row in all competitions. Scott McTominay, who provided the heroics with both goals in added time against Brighton before the break, got on the board again against Sheffield United last Saturday. That made him the team's top scorer as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford look to break out.
Fernandes has two goals and two assists, and Rashford has scored once and set up one. But they combined for 25 goals and 13 assists last season. Each scored in this fixture in January as United rallied for the 2-1 victory at Old Trafford. The Theatre of Dreams is never an easy place to play, and the Red Devils have scored seven of their 11 goals there. The hosts also should be rested after their home victory against Copenhagen, while City's UCL match was in Switzerland. See which team to pick here.
