Arguably this week’s pick of the bunch in the Premier League – Leaders Manchester City visit fierce rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday for the 109th Manchester derby.

The Citizens, who have won seven of their opening nine league games, are looking for their seventh win out of the last nine Manchester derbies in the league this weekend.

Meanwhile the Red Devils, who saw off Everton 3-0 last weekend, will overtake their derby day opponents in the table with victory and could possibly jump to the top of the standings if Arsenal fail to beat the Toffees themselves on Saturday.

The hosts’ Juan Mata has been in superb form of late, scoring four and assisting six goals in all competitions this season.

Meanwhile City’s Kevin De Bruyne is quickly becoming a City hero after netting five goals since his summer switch from Wolfsburg, including Wednesday night’s winner against Sevilla in the Champions League.

Here is how both key midfielders match up so far this season…
