Премьер лигийн хүснэгтийг тэргүүлэгч Арсеналыг гүйцэх зорилготой Манчестер Сити өнөөдөр Манчестер Юнайтедын талбайд зочлон тоглоно.
Манчестер Ситигийн бүрэлдэхүүнд Доннарумма, Диас, Гвардиол, Фоден, Холанд зэрэг тоглогчид гараанд гарах бол Манчестер Юнайтедын хувьд Люк Шоу гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнд багтаагүй байна. Тоглолтын өмнөх байдлаар Манчестер Ситигийн хагас хамгаалагч Эллиот Андерсон өөрийн багийг “Манчестерийн хаад” хэмээн тодорхойлсон нь хотын дербигийн өрсөлдөөнийг улам хурцалж байна.
Манчестер Юнайтедын дасгалжуулагч Майкл Каррик өөрийн багийнхны талаарх хүлээлт өөрчлөгдөж байгааг онцолсон бөгөөд Аваргуудын лигт өрсөлдөх болсон нь багийн ахиц дэвшлийг харуулж буйг дурдлаа. Тэрээр өрсөлдөгчийнхөө өдөөн хатгасан мэдэгдэлд шууд хариу өгөхөөс татгалзаж, багийнхаа амжилтад анхаарлаа хандуулж байгаагаа илэрхийлжээ.
Статистикийн хувьд Манчестер Юнайтед өнгөрсөн улиралд өөрийн талбайдаа 2-0-ийн харьцаатай хожиж байсан ч энэ улиралд эхний гурван тоглолт дараалан хоёр гоол алдсан үзүүлэлттэй байна. Эсрэгээрээ Манчестер Сити Премьер лигийн эхний дөрвөн тоглолтод дараалан ялахын төлөө зүтгэж байгаа бөгөөд Эрлинг Холанд Манчестер Юнайтедын эсрэг нийт 8 гоол оруулсан амжилттай байна.
Тоглолт Британийн цагаар 16:30-д эхлэх бөгөөд үзэгчид Sky Sports сувгаар дамжуулан хүлээн авч үзэх боломжтой.

Manchester City can rejoin Arsenal at the top of the Premier League this afternoon with victory at Manchester United.
The Gunners’ hard-fought triumph at Sunderland last night saw them make it four wins from four and establish a three-point lead at the summit.
But City will draw level once again if they can get the better of their local rivals.
City midfielder Elliot Anderson stoked the derby flames after joining the club from Nottingham Forest, declaring them to be the ‘Kings of Manchester’.
Those words are a reflection of the success City have enjoyed over the last 15 years compared to United. Following contrasting starts to the season, City will again be expected to have a superior season to Michael Carrick’s men, who have taken just four points from Premier League games with Hull City, Ipswich Town and Everton.
However, after qualifying for the Champions League with a third-placed finish last season, Carrick believes the perception around United is starting to change.
Asked about Anderson’s remarks following their Champions League win over Sabah in midweek, Carrick said: “I’m definitely not using that phrase at all, no.
“I understand it, and I think going into the Champions League game tonight and talking about the expectation there, I think it’s a really good thing that it’s shifted in a way, and all of a sudden there’s different things asked of us now to maybe what was a few months ago, and we’re in the Champions League.
“That in itself shows the steps we’ve made and we need to be in the later stages of that.”

Man United v Man City stats, Premier League form
- United won this exact fixture last season 2-0 but haven’t beaten rivals City twice in a row at home in the Premier League since a run of three under Alex Ferguson from 2008/09 to 2010/11
- They have won nine of their 10 Premier League home games since Michael Carrick took charge in January (L1), scoring at least twice in each victory
- Their current three-match winning run at home has come despite conceding twice each time. United have not conceded at least two goals in four straight home league games since January 1972
- Carrick’s side have conceded twice in all three of their Premier League games this season, leaving them poised to ship at least two goals in their first four games of a league campaign for the fourth time
- The Red Devils previously did so in 1926/27 (first five games), 1930/31 (12) and 1969/70 (4), although their threat in attack is demonstrated by the fact they had the most attempts overall (68) and accumulated the second highest expected goals total (7.3) across the first three matchdays
- City have won one of their last four Premier League games against United (D1 L2), having won five of their preceding six (L1)
- They are looking to win each of their opening four games in a Premier League campaign for the seventh time, which would be the outright most of any side (Chelsea are also 6)
- The Cityzens have proceeded to win the league on two of those six occasions (2011/12 and 2023/24)
- Elliot Anderson has completed more passes while under high pressure than any other player in the Premier League this season (122), with United’s Youri Tielemans second in that respect (114)
- Erling Haaland has eight goals in seven Premier League appearances against Manchester United, although only two of those have come at Old Trafford
- Only Mohamed Salah (13) and Alan Shearer (10) have scored more against the Red Devils in the competition
