Several matches are on show this Sunday in the Premier League, including this clash between Manchester City and Manchester United. Both teams have the mission to get back on track.
A big Sunday awaits Premier League fans. Indeed, Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium at 5:30 p.m.. Pep Guardiola’s team is clearly doing badly and has had a string of disappointing matches, in content, but also in results. This week, they lost in Italy, with a score of 2-0 against Juventus, in the Champions League. Currently 4th in the standings, they will want to win in order to stay in the title race. Winning this derby could revive them.
Manchester United, for their part, won in Europe this season, against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, but did not shine either. The Mancunians have recently started a new era, with Ruben Amorim on the bench, and it takes time for that. Winning such a shock could give them a lot of confidence. The last time Ruben Amorim faced Pep Guardiola was a while ago (in the Champions League with Sporting) and it was the Portuguese coach who won.
