What is the form of Manchester United as compared to Manchester City's?

Manchester United approaches the midweek's derby on the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the Goodison Park against Everton on Sunday. The outcome of the encounter simply puts a cap on the series of lackluster performances the Red Devils have exhibited in recent times.

Despite their domineering campaign which followed the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the 20-time English champions are on the brink of missing out on Champions League football next season. At Everton, Manchester United registered its fifth away defeat in succession across all competition - a feat that was last seen over three decades ago.

The Reds' plight is further deepened by the fact that they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 11 matches in all competitions, a loophole Manchester City will aim to exploit to their advantage in the upcoming derby. Over the last 10 matches, Solskjaer's side has managed just four wins while losing the remaining six. They have registered just two wins in their last eight games in all competitions.

For Manchester City, the defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur has proved to be the only chink in its armor in recent months. The Citizens' bid for a domestic double has seen them rack up a number of wins which stretches back to December 2018.

Over the course of the last 10 matches, City has recorded nine wins and a single defeat. Pep's side approach Wednesday's clash on the back of successive wins over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League and Premiership respectively.

What is the head to head record of Manchester United vs Manchester City?

Manchester United and Manchester City have met on 176 occasions. The Reds have won 72, drawn 52 and lost 52. Despite denying City the opportunity to lift the league at their expense inside the Etihad last season, Manchester United has not won at home to their cross-town rivals since 2015.

The last meeting between the two clubs ended 3-1 in favor of the blue side back in November 2018.

"We've got to be ready for the press, for their pressing because they've got quality on the ball," Solskjaer told reporters at a news conference.

"We've got to defend well. When we win it, we've got to be ready for their aggression, they will snap at your ankles and heels and kick you.

"They are not going to allow us easy counter-attacking. There will be fouls, absolutely no doubt about it, because when you watch their games they commit so many players forward.
