Manchester United will be going in pursuit of a fifth successive Premier League victory when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City after the international break.
United, who were beaten 4-1 on their last visit to the blue side of city, posted a fourth straight league win over a fortnight ago, beating current table-toppers Arsenal 3-1 at Old Trafford. It was a statement victory from Erik ten Hag's side, meaning they will fancy their chances of going toe-to-toe with City in just over a week's time.
However, United's hopes of maintaining their recent momentum in the league were derailed by the unfortunate postponements of their scheduled clashes with Crystal Palace and Leeds United earlier this month. Nevertheless, those unexpected cancelations allowed Ten Hag to deploy a stronger team than he would have planned to against Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League last Thursday night.
