Where Man Utd and Man City are predicted to finish compared to Liverpool and rivals
The first month of the Premier League season is complete and it has been an intriguing start for clubs on both side of the Manchester divide.
For Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the main story has been the outstanding form of new signing Erling Haaland after he plundered his way to 10 goals in his opening five Premier League fixtures.
That played a key role in City’s unbeaten start to the campaign, although they sit in second place, one point behind an Arsenal side that have won five of their opening six games.
The Gunners sole defeat was inflicted by Manchester United, who have shaken off a poor start to the season to move into the top five.
Erik ten Hag’s men lost their opening two games after they were left empty-handed from a home game with Brighton and Hove Albion and the visit to Brentford.
That loss against The Bees proved to be something of a turning point as the Red Devils went on to win their next four matches.
But where will both Manchester clubs sit in the table when the final whistle is blown on a unique campaign next May?
