Manchester City is set to host Manchester United in a highly anticipated clash for Round 16 of the Premier League. This match promises to be a thrilling encounter, as both teams are eager to secure three crucial points and local bragging rights at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
Current Form
Manchester City, currently struggling with form, is facing challenges in their pursuit of a fifth consecutive Premier League title. After managing only one victory in their last six league matches, they find themselves in fourth place, eight points adrift of Liverpool, who are at the top of the table with a game in hand. Their last outing ended in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace, during which defender Rico Lewis received a red card.
In contrast, Manchester United is having a tough season, sitting in 13th place with just 19 points from 15 matches. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the team is grappling with recent setbacks, having suffered defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. A third consecutive loss would further intensify the pressure at Old Trafford.
