Премьер лигийн хүснэгтийг тэргүүлэх зорилготой Манчестер Сити хотын өрсөлдөгч Манчестер Юнайтедтай талбайд нь хүч үзэх гэж байна.
Премьер лигийн эхний гурван тоглолтдоо дараалан хожсон Манчестер Сити энэ амжилтаа үргэлжлүүлэхээр зэхэж байна. Өчигдөр Сандерландыг хожсон Арсенал дөрвөн тоглолтоос 12 оноо цуглуулаад байгаа тул Манчестер Ситид хожих зайлшгүй шаардлага тулгарчээ. Тэд долоо хоногийн дундуур Аваргуудын лигийн хүрээнд Портог хожсон бол Манчестер Юнайтед Сабахыг буулган авсан байна.
Манчестер Юнайтедын хувьд улирлын эхлэлийг тун тааруухан эхлүүлж, Халл Ситид 2-0 харьцаатай хожигдсон ч Ковентриг хожиж, Эвертонтой тэнцсэн амжилттай байна. Майкл Каррикээр удирдуулсан Манчестер Юнайтед энэ улирлын гурван тоглолт дараалан хоёр гоол алдсан үзүүлэлттэй байгаа нь хамгаалалтын асуудлыг хөндөж байна. Гэсэн хэдий ч тэд эхний гурван тойрогт 68 удаа цохилт хийж, 7.3 хүлээгдэж буй гоолын (xG) үзүүлэлттэй байсан нь довтолгооны хүчирхэг боломжийг харуулж байна.
Эрлинг Холанд Манчестер Юнайтедын эсрэг Премьер лигт нийт долоон удаа тоглохдоо 8 гоол оруулсан ч үүний ердөө хоёр нь Олд Траффорд цэнгэлдэхэд тохиожээ. Тоглолт Ням гарагт Британийн цагаар 16:30-д эхлэх бөгөөд Манчестер Юнайтед өнгөрсөн улиралд энэ талбайдаа 2-0 харьцаатай ялалт байгуулж байв. Эллиот Андерсон болон Юри Тилеманс нар энэ улиралд өндөр дарамттай нөхцөлд хамгийн олон дамжуулалт хийсэн тоглогчдоор нэрлэгдээд байна.

Manchester City will hope to maintain their 100 per cent record in the Premier League this afternoon, and earn local bragging rights, when they visit Manchester United.
City have won their opening three games but still trail defending champions Arsenal, who made it four from four with victory at Sunderland last night.
United have been a mixed bag so far. They opened with a shocking 2-0 defeat at Hull but have bounced back with a victory over Coventry and a draw at Everton.
City won at Porto in the Champions League in midweek while United hammered minnows Sabah.
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
