Premier League 2023-24 Man City vs Man United: Date, Time Head to Head, Prediction & Where To Watch. One of the most highly anticipated events in the world of football is set to unfold on Sunday, 8.30 pm IST at Old Trafford. Manchester United will play host to Manchester City in the latest chapter of the infamous Manchester derby.
Manchester United’s performance in the Premier League has not been great. They have suffered four defeats, resulting in a current standing of eighth place in the table with 15 points from nine matches played.
In the 2023-24 season, Manchester City is positioned in second place, trailing the league leaders Tottenham Hotspur by a mere two points. However, Pep Guardiola’s squad has already encountered two setbacks in the form of away defeats to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal.
The triumphant team, having secured a treble, will enter this matchup with the momentum of a 3-1 victory against Young Boys in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Manchester United also secured a win against Copenhagen in the same competition, bolstering their chances of progressing to the knockout rounds.
Erik ten Hag’s team has impressively triumphed in their previous three matches across all competitions, with their latest two wins coming in the league. A win for the Red Devils on Sunday would bring them within a three-point reach of their rivals.
