Predicted Premier League table: Where Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham & Chelsea will finish - gallery
Man Utd are already playing catch-up to rivals Man City after four Premier League games
Manchester United and Manchester City have a break from action this weekend as the first international break of the season continues.
Both clubs have had differing fortunes to start the season with City the only side to win all of their Premier League games as they aim to claim a fourth-straight title. United, meanwhile, have won both of their home fixtures but have been beaten in their two away games with both of those losses coming in North London to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, respectively.
With four games played, data experts at Opta have simulated how the season will play out and predicted the most likely finishing position for every team. Here is where they are tipping the two Manchester clubs to finish...
