MATCH PREVIEW

"A small club with a small mentality" is how Sir Alex Ferguson provocatively dismissed Manchester City ahead of the new season. How City boss Mark Hughes and the blue half of Manchester will relish reminding Ferguson of that quote should they topple the champions on Sunday.

PHIL MCNULTY'S BLOG

Always a keenly-contested affair, this weekend's derby promises to be the most intriguing for years. City are out of the Premier League starting blocks quicker than ever before and proved against Arsenal last week that they are serious about their intention to shake up the 'big four'.

The Eastlands club will feel they have already dealt United one psychological blow, having tempted Carlos Tevez across the city. But with the Argentine likely to miss out on his return to Old Trafford due to injury and Robinho, Roque Santa Cruz and top scorer Emmanuel Adebayor also sidelined, City could find themselves lining up against the champions with Craig Bellamy as a lone striker.

United haven't looked back since that shock defeat to Burnley and warmed up for Sunday's derby with a winning start to their Champions League campaign in Istanbul.

We have a 100% record and we want to keep it...we are in great form but we have to work our backsides off every day to maintain that form

Man City midfielder Nigel de Jong

Last weekend, Tottenham's early-season optimism suffered a reality check at the hands of the Red Devils. By the full-time whistle on Sunday, we should have a clearer idea whether United's wealthy neighbours can be considered contenders or pretenders.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• There have been 151 Manchester derbies. United have won 61 to City's 41.

• Manchester City have only won one of their 12 trips to Old Trafford in the Premier League (February 2008).

• City were the last team to beat Manchester United on a Sunday in the Premier League - since then United have won 11 and drawn three.

• Mark Hughes has won two, drawn two and lost five of his eight league matches against his former manager Sir Alex.

• Carlos Tevez scored in this fixture last season while playing for United.

Man Utd

• Since losing to City in February 2008, United have lost just one of their 26 games at Old Trafford (against Liverpool in March 2009), winning 23.

• United have won 12 and lost just one of their last 14 Premier League games. They are chasing a fifth successive victory in all competitions.

• Wayne Rooney has scored five goals in his last five league matches. He has been caught offside 13 times this season - more than any other player in the league.

Man City

• City are chasing a sixth consecutive league win and a seventh in all competitions.

• This is City's best-ever start to a Premier League campaign and their best top-flight start since 1961-62 when they also opened the season with four wins. A win on Sunday would equal the five successive wins at the start of the 1912-13 campaign.

• City have been winning 1-0 at half-time in all four of their Premier League matches so far this season.

• City have already equalled last season's total of away victories, having won two on the road so far.

• If City lose, it will be their 200th Premier League defeat.
