Facts to know about both teams* Manchester City has an incredible home record this season. Roberto Mancini's men have won 21 of 22 games at the Etihad, scoring 51 goals in just 17 games.
* The hosts have already thrashed the visitors in this campaign. They famously won 6-1 at Old Trafford back in October, United's heaviest ever Premier League defeat.
* In the 6-1 win, City was ruthless in front of goal. It scored six goals from just seven shots on target.
* However, on its own ground it's a different story. City has not scored at home against United in the league for almost five years.
* Manchester United has already beaten Manchester City twice this season: a 3-2 win in the Community Shield and another 3-2 win in the FA Cup at the Etihad back in January.
