The Manchester derby has always taken on great importance, and the latest edition is no different.
Billed as the "most expensive match in Premier League history," both Manchester United and Manchester City have spent big on stars in recent years. But while City have several recent titles to their name, United has had to watch as their crosstown rival became the dominant side in England under Pep Guardiola.
Despite the recent successes by City, United head into the weekend's affair just three points back of their neighbours. This is especially surprising given the recent turbulence at United, with a poor run of form nearly costing manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his job after a demoralizing loss to Liverpool. However, Solskjaer's men bounced back, dispatching Tottenham 3-0 last week to bring back a winning feeling to the club.
Meanwhile, City fell 2-0 to lowly Crystal Palace on the same day, breaking a nine-game league unbeaten streak.

The teams sit third and fifth, respectively, on the Premier League table following last weekend's results. A United win would draw the teams level, which would have been unthinkable just a month ago.
