Why you should back Manchester City
The Citizens, who trail first-place Arsenal in the standings by five points, have been an offensive force once again this season as they are first in the Premier League with 45 goals and a plus-29 goal differential. Leading the charge is Erling Haaland, who has netted a league-high 21 goals in 16 matches during his first campaign in the EPL. The 22-year-old striker has converted in all but four of his contests and has scored multiple goals on six occasions.
Haaland, who netted 22 goals in 24 games with Borussia Dortmund last season, registered one of his three hat tricks of 2022-23 and added a pair of assists in Man City's victory against the Red Devils in October. Midfielder Phil Foden is second on the Citizens and tied for seventh in the league with seven goals and also recorded a hat trick versus Man United. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne leads the Premier League with nine assists and is looking to reach double digits for the fifth time in seven campaigns.
Why you should back Manchester United
The Red Devils have allowed a total of one goal during their winning streak, posting a clean sheet in each of their last three matches. The run has allowed Man United to pull into a tie with Newcastle for third in the EPL table with a game in hand. Marcus Rashford leads the team with seven goals after recording only four in 25 contests last season.
The 25-year-old Rashford has scored in three consecutive Premier League matches and six games in a row across all competitions as he converted twice for Man United in their 3-0 victory against Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday. Brazilian winger Antony also scored in that contest and is tied for second on the Red Devils with three league goals. The 22-year-old is even with French forward Anthony Martial, who netted two of his goals in the loss to Man City earlier this season.
