What to look forward too.

This meeting of City and United comes just two and a half months after they clashed in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in late May – a match in which the Red Devils claimed a surprise 2-1 win. As a result, Pep Guardiola and his charges will have their sights set firmly on revenge – even if the Spanish tactician is reluctant to admit as much.

As for United, they are looking to build on that FA Cup win, with manager Erik ten Hag retained for the start of the first full season under the new co-ownership of the Ineos group. The Red Devils will need to show far more consistency and ambition compared to last season’s roller-coaster campaign, but kicking off with another win over City would be the perfect way to set the tone.

Head-to-head

In head-to-head stats, Man City and Man United have met in 193 matches across all competitions. The Red Devils have claimed 79 wins compared to 61 for the Citizens, while 53 games have been drawn. The teams’ most recent meeting, as mentioned above, was the FA Cup final back in May which United won 2-1 thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
