The team played four friendly matches in the pre-season campaign. The tour started with an unconvincing result against Scottish Celtic 3:4. Next, the Citizens lost to Milan 2:3. The next game against Barcelona ended in a 2:2 draw, with City faring worse in the penalty shootout. In the final match ahead of the Super Cup, Guardiola's wards dealt with Chelsea London 4:2.

Manchester United played one more game than their neighbours. The team alternated victories with defeats. The pre-season began with a 0:1 defeat to Rosenborg. Then the Mancunians sent two unanswered goals to Rangers. Another victory was recorded over Betis 3:2. But with the top representatives of the EPL, MU failed to mark the best game - 1:2 from Arsenal and 0:3 from Liverpool.

Manchester United approaches the game with problems regarding injured players. In pre-season, newcomer Leni Yoro was injured, it is still unknown in what conditions are Shaw, Martinez, Maguire and Lindelöf. It is not excluded that once again old Evans will have to save the situation, and he will be paired with Casemiro. On paper, Manchester City look like the favourites, but the Citizens are not doing so well either, if you look at the outcomes of the friendlies this summer. Expect a colourful Manchester derby with quick goals, plenty of action and corners.
