Match preview

Manchester United host Manchester City in the Premier League on 13 September 2026. Manchester United sit 17th on 7 points and Manchester City are 1st on 21. Manchester United have won 3 of their last 5 (WLWDW), while Manchester City have won 4 of 5 (LWWWW). In their last 2 meetings, Manchester United won 1, Manchester City won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
