A fixture that can be billed as the Premier League’s match of the season so far is always unpredictable as illustrated by Manchester United’s 3-2 comeback win last term after Manchester City led 2-0 at the break. Pep Guardiola is yet to claim victory in the derby at the Etihad Stadium, so would love to change this in the 177th edition. José Mourinho, though, is sure to have something to say about that.
