On paper, this is a must-see match every season. But this year, both teams began the season with mediocre results. City has only three points from it’s first three games, starting with a 4-0 thrashing of Wolverhampton and two consecutive losses to Tottenham and Brighton, respectively, in one of the worst starts for a Pep Guardiola team in recent memory.
Man U, after spending a whooping 250 million pounds in the transfer market, has all of four points to start the season. Their early results include a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the first game of the season. Even worse, the Red Devils lost to lowly Grimsby Town in penalties in the second round of the EFL Cup at the end of August.
That said, these two teams always offer a good show, especially under the current circumstances where both Guardiola and Man U’s Ruben Amorim have so much to prove, at least when it comes to keeping their jobs.
