Man United vs Man City: The Red Devils will welcome City at Old Trafford in what will be the first Manchester Derby of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
The Manchester Derby remains one of the must-see matches in the Premier League calendar and this season will not be different.
Their recent head-to-head record favors last season treble winners Manchester City, with United also losing 2023 FA Cup final to them.
Man United became the first English club to ever win the top-flight title, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season in 1999.
Man United vs Man City will be the first face-off in the new season with balance of power well shifted to the Blue side of Manchester in the last one decade.
On Saturday, October 28, 2023, United is scheduled to host the first Manchester derby of the 2023–2024 season, while on Saturday, March 2, 2024, City will host the Red Devils at the Etihad.
Both teams had dreadfully poor road records against top competitors in the previous season, despite finishing in the top three.
Only one away victory against teams that finished in the top nine of the Premier League was achieved by either City or United.
In these difficult road games, Man United managed just one point while giving up a pitiful 28 goals in eight games, six of them came from Man City.

In his first home derby as manager, Erik ten Hag did lead Manchester United to win, in large part because of a highly contentious equalizer from Bruno Fernandes.
Ten Hag has the opportunity to become the club’s first manager since Ferguson to secure successive Premier League triumphs over the Sky Blues, despite the fact that City has since defeated United at Wembley and equaled their treble triumph.
