PREVIOUS MEETING

The last time we met our city rivals, two stunning strikes from Phil Foden saw us to a 3-1 win at the Etihad Stadium from a goal down.

Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a venomous strike but the Premier League Player of the Year leveled just after the break with a thunderous effort into the top corner.

Foden then gave City the lead with 10 minutes remaining before Erling Haaland sealed victory with a clinical finish soon after.

LAST TIME OUT

City secured a fourth consecutive Premier League title in our previous assignment, beating West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad.

Foden opened the scoring after just 79 seconds before doubling our lead when he swept home Jeremy Doku’s pinpoint cross.

Mohammed Kudus pulled a goal back for the visitors with a stunning overhead kick just before the break before Rodrigo’s classy finish restored our two-goal lead.

It secured the 10th top-flight title in our history and sixth in seven seasons, and Pep Guardiola’s side finished the Premier League unbeaten at the Etihad throughout the campaign.
