Manchester City v Manchester Utd Stats

The last time Manchester City and Manchester Utd met on a Thursday in the English Premier League was in November 1994, with Manchester United winning 5-0 thanks to a Kanchelskis hat-trick.

Jose Mourinho has failed to win any of his last 4 English Premier League matches against Manchester City (D2 L2) – this after winning 6 successive EPL encounters with the Man City between December 2005 and February 2014.

Mourinho has won 4 of his 18 meetings with Guardiola, but Mourinho won the last encounter with his Spanish opponent – a 1-0 win in the EFL Cup back in October.

Pep Guardiola could become the fourth manager to win both home and away Manchester derbies in a debut top-flight season after John Bentley, Eriksson and Pellegrini.

Kun Aguero has now scored in 5 successive English Premier League appearances for Manchester City and could equal his best such run in the competition with a goal in this match (6 apps in a row between April-May 2016).

Kun Aguero has scored 8 goals in 10 competitive appearances for Manchester City against Manchester United but has failed to score in his last 2 matches against them.

Manchester City have only lost one of their 15 home league matches this season, but only neighbours Man Utd (9) have drawn more home matches than them in the top flight this season (6).

Man City should have killed off Arsenal in their FA cup semi-final, but bad luck and some poor refereeing prevented Manchester City from winning the match. In extra time they tired, in itself a worry, and Arsenal made it to the final. D Silva, Kun Aguero and Fernandinho were forced off with injuries, but I think only Silva is in danger of missing this derby match.

Chris Smalling, Jones, Juan Mata, Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be missing for United and P Pogba is considered a very doubtful starter. We have seen lately that they can manage without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but missing both Pogba and Ibrahimovic can prove to be too much for Man United.

Should Pogba be able to play after all then Man United will have the same group available as against Chelsea, Rojo aside, and one has to say they were pretty strong against Chelsea and the kind of aggressiveness Man United demonstrated in that match can and will hurt also Man City. Still it is a new match, new circumstances and there is no guarantee that Man United will be able to replicate that performance.

Advantage Manchester City, worth backing below evens with Bet365?
