The Manchester derby is back this weekend, and it's going to be a proper ding-dong battle, mate.
Manchester City are hosting Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday, and it's going to be a cracker of a match, I tell ya.
City and United's recent form
Both teams have been absolute shite so far this season, winning only one of their opening three games. Their 'Big Six' rivals are miles ahead, and it's a proper joke, innit?
City started off with a smashing 4-0 win against Wolves, but then they got battered 2-0 by Tottenham at home. And then, mate, they lost 2-1 to Brighton. What a load of bollocks!
As for United, they've been a bit better under Ruben Amorim, winning one, drawing one, and losing one. But they still got knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Grimsby Town, the absolute muppets!

City and United's team news

United's Matheus Cunha picked up a hamstring injury, but he's been hinting on Instagram that he might be fit for the derby. We'll see about that, mate!
The beautiful game is back, baby!
So, there you have it, lads. The Manchester derby is going to be a proper battle between two teams who have been absolute shite so far this season. But that's football for ya, innit? Anything can happen in the beautiful game, and I can't bloody wait to see these two teams go at it on Sunday. It's going to be a right proper ding-dong battle, mate!
