are the best team in this season’s Premier League and will win it unless their level tails off and Manchester City rediscover the fire Pep Guardiola believes has been lost. They meet a United side who have won nine of their past 10 and feel ahead of schedule under Erik Ten Hag. A return to the Champions League would suffice for most at Old Trafford but United are third, have almost hunted down their local rivals and know as well as anyone that momentum is an intoxicating drug.
Arsenal finished eighth that season; United came third but ended up 15 points shy of second and 33 off the champions, Liverpool.
