Two bitter rivals with a taste for victories lock horns in Sunday's Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, as Manchester City play host to Manchester United.
The Red Devils have not been in Premier League action since getting the better of Arsenal 3-1 on September 4, while Pep Guardiola's side ran out 3-0 winners over Wolverhampton Wanderers before the international break.
We say: Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United
As impressive as their recent resurgence has been, Man United were gifted two of their goals against Arsenal by a leaky Gunners backline, and Ten Hag has a couple of concerns over his attacking line fitness and form-wise.
The Red Devils are still finding their feet under Ten Hag, who prepares for a true test of mettle against a Man City side who are almost always in a free-scoring mood at the Etihad, and we can only envisage the champions coming out on top in Sunday's derby.

Leeds United will endeavour to snap a three-game winless streak in the Premier League when Aston Villa pay a visit to Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
The Whites were thumped 5-2 by Brentford during their most recent encounter, while Steven Gerrard's side ran out 1-0 winners over Southampton before the international break.
We say: Leeds United 2-1 Aston Villa
Elland Road has been a happy hunting ground for Aston Villa in recent memory, but with Gerrard's side particularly short in the full-back areas and known for their shortcomings away from home, Sunday's trip may not be a pleasant one.
In contrast, Leeds have reserved their best performances for Elland Road and have had over a month to recover from the 5-2 thrashing at Brentford, which has also benefited their injured crop, and we have faith in the Whites to return to winning ways as Marsch watches on from afar.
