Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous Manchester Derby ended in a goalless draw.

Manchester City are all set to lock horns with Manchester United in the matchweek 4 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. The Etihad Stadium is all set to witness the Manchester Derby this time around.

The Cityzens fell prey to Brighton in their previous league game. It was an underwhelming performance by the Pep Guardiola-led side. After starting their campaign with a win, they lost their next two matches. Man City will be under pressure in their upcoming game, despite it being a home fixture.

The Ruben Amorin-led side are coming in after securing a win against Burnley in their previous Premier League encounter. Man United have continued their struggles since the start of the new season. They have also been eliminated from the Carabao Cup. The Red Devils will now be aiming for their second win of the new season.
