MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

United could lose four consecutive home games against City in all competitions for only the second time in their history.

The away side has won six of the past seven meetings in all competitions.
United are looking to complete a league double over City for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

Manchester United

United are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions, winning six and drawing three.

They have kept seven clean sheets in those eight games, scoring 22 and conceding twice.

The Red Devils need 24 points out of a possible 30 in their final 10 league matches to equal their final tally of 66 from last season.

Since the start of last season, no player has made more errors leading to a goal in the Premier League than David de Gea's seven.

The Spaniard has conceded 33 Premier League goals against Man City - 11 more than against any other opponent.

Odion Ighalo has scored in consecutive starts in all competitions for an English club for the first time since December 2015 for Watford.

Manchester City

City have won their last four games in four different competitions: Premier League, League Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.

They have only lost one of their last eight league matches, winning six and drawing one.

City have never lost a Premier League game in March under Pep Guardiola - their last defeat in the month came in 2016, against Manchester United.

Guardiola has won all three of his Premier League away games at Old Trafford - no visiting manager has won more there.

Sergio Aguero has scored nine goals in all competitions in Manchester derbies.

Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus have failed to score against United in 19 and seven games respectively in all competitions.

I'll be at the game so hopefully United win. It will be a tough match as you'd expect. We seem to be doing OK at the Etihad in recent times, but struggle against them at OT.

If De Bruyne isn't fit that would be a boost, but I expect that he will be fit enough to play. As with most games, the midfield battles will be key. Can't allow KdB to dictate.
