Recent respective form guides
Manchester City may have lost only 1 of their last six home games, but the other 5 have resulted in drawn games. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Man Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Red Devils, and 10 goals against.
Man City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 27 matches. Man Utd. sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 58 points from their 27 games.
