Fresh from winning the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month award for September, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag takes his side to the Etihad Stadium for their first Manchester derby this afternoon. Manchester City started the week in second place, just a point behind league leaders Arsenal, but after the Gunners’ win yesterday, Pep Guardiola’s men will need three points just to keep pace. with the London team. Fortunately for City fans, Guardiola’s men are unbeaten in the league so far this season and most recently eased past Wolves with a 3-0 away win just before the international break, putting them well in touch for a derby of Manchester. Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s win gives you an indication of how he managed to turn Manchester United’s form around. The Red Devils have won their last four league games in a row, including a win over Liverpool and a 3-1 win over Arsenal in their last home outing. However, City away from home is always a tough task and it will be the Dutchman’s best win to date if he can help United get it done. Watch all the action from the Manchester derby:
