Haaland again, Manchester City leads 1-0 against Manchester United

Manchester City and Manchester United face each other in a new edition of the Manchester Derby. Both teams are positioned in an important way this season and it is highly expected that the teams add important results that allow them to continue a key step towards the top positions in the Premier League.

Now, Erling Haaland has already scored the first goal of the game. The Norwegian has 46 goals in 45 Premier League games played. A huge figure for the Manchester City footballer, who today appeared again against one of the most important clubs of the moment. The forward deceived Onana in the penalty and scored the first goal of the game to put the citizen team ahead. The last time both teams met was in June of this year, a match that ended with a 2-1 victory for Manchester City in the final of the Emirates FA Cup.

Of the last five games between them, City managed to win four and United one. The Red Devils arrive with an irregular level of play so far in the English league, of their last five games in this competition they have been able to win three and only lose two. In the Premier table they are in eighth place.

Pep Guardiola looks to regain momentum

The Citizens have just broken a bad streak of games in the English league, they are second in the Premier League with 21 points (they are two points behind the first, Tottenham). In the last five games in this competition, they recorded two consecutive defeats, something unusual for the last English champion. A victory in this match would be fundamental for the aspirations of the citizen group, which cannot allow Tottenham to continue moving away.
