The 196th Manchester Derby Headlines Gameweek 31 of the Premier League season, two faltering giants from the English competition that offer themselves to gather at the end of extremely disappointing seasons. Hosts Manchester United have nothing more than proud to play for and could not be accused of having a half eye on the Europa League quarter final on Thursday in Lyon, their last chance to secure European football while they are moored the weekend in the bottom half of the table.

Manchester City is more pressure on their remaining fixtures. Without the stars of Star Erling Haaland for most, if not all, of the rest of the competition season, the champions cling to the top-five berth that would ensure that they would play Champions League football next season. Their series of matches without their star striker started well in midweek, a 2-0 win over Leicester City, but this represents a larger test for Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard has won on five of his nine league trips to Old Trafford, already a competition record. Making six would give City a lot of momentum for the run-in.

Last meeting

The meeting between these two in the Etihad Stadium was hardly filled to burst of the quality of most players, but the one who did delivered did this in style. Ruben Amorim followed the goal of Josko Gvardiol, and turned to Amad Diallo and the young forward forward, the tide waved decisively. First he won the penalty from which Bruno Fernandes converted the equalizer before loading on a ball over the top and drilling from a tight corner to numb the Etihad stadium.

What the managers say

Manchester United: Despite the defeat against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, a result means that United has lost nine of the 19 Premier League matches among their new manager, Amorim sees signs of progress from his side. “” It’s more [of] The same since this season started, “he said.” So I think if you look at the game, we improve the way we play football.

Story lines to watch

Alejandro Garnacho, shoots on his shot – Because Amorim’s arrival in England, on average only 13 players on average more shots per 90 Premier League minutes than Garnacho at 3.28 (Haaland is not almost one of them). It is therefore an achievement, when you pull the trigger so often, to rank 66th in expected goals (XG) per 90, 0.22 hardly get a pinch more than City on the left.

The reason? When Garnacho sees his shot, he takes it. He assumes whether it is on or not, whether he is in balance, whether there is a defender in his own way, or Patrick Ewing shouts him during the Timeout. Of the 155 players in the competition, since the term of office of Amorim 10-Pluschoten, Garnacho has been in 128th place. It is not necessarily a bad sign that a player who is only 20 is ready to fly. It is likely that a bit disturbing when his six shots in Forest on Tuesday delivered less than half of the XG that Harry Maguire received as an aid center.

Player to watch

Jack Grealisk – Returning to the Premier League XI in style with his first top flight goal in more than a year, Grealisk finally has something to build on. The most intriguing he got a run in the role in which he excelled before he came to City, a number 10 that could get on the ball could ride forward and get his shot. He perhaps only took two of the last, but it was an impressive performance of the 29 -year -old. The question is whether he will build on them, with a similar wrestling Phil Foden waiting in the wings.
