Riyad Mahrez has been involved in nine goals in his last eight Premier League appearances for City, scoring six and assisting three. However, against no side has the Algerian played more in the competition without scoring than Man Utd (11).

Manchester United are looking to win four consecutive matches in all competitions at Manchester City for the first time since between November 1993 and November 2000.

City are looking to complete the league double over Man Utd for just the second time under Pep Guardiola, having previously done so in 2018/19.

Since his Premier League debut in February 2020, Bruno Fernandes has both scored and assisted a goal in 11 different matches, more than any other player in the competition. He has both scored and assisted a goal in 14 per cent of his PL appearances (11/77), the highest ratio of any player to play at least 20 times in the competition.

The Scout's FPL tips

- Joao Cancelo (£7.1m) produced 14 points against Man Utd in GW11, combining two assists with a clean sheet. His 12 shots in the last four Gameweeks rank top among defenders and are more than any other Man City player.

- Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m) has blanked just once in his last four away matches, producing three goals, three assists and 37 points. His 19 shots and 18 chances created in the last four Gameweeks are both league-leading totals.
