In contrast, they are languishing down in an unfamiliar seventh place, already nine points behind their city rivals after losing three of their opening 11 league matches.
However, Jose Mourinho's team arrives at the Etihad on a four-game unbeaten run in the league, while they're managing to get back on the go in the league in April, when the visitors came back from 2-0. down to win 3-2 and later halt their title march.

We asked our Soccer Saturday who they think will be their team's most important player on Sunday. See who they went for and then take your poll and make your own pick …
Phil Thompson
David Silva is usually the man but this time I think it's time for Raheem Sterling to step up in a huge game. If he can embrace the situation then he can have an impact on this mbadive game – his badists and goals are in the process of becoming more influential. He seems to have taken on the responsibility of Kevin De Bruyne and Ashley Young could be key.
Paul Merson says Raheem Sterling will be City's key player
It's not one player for one but rather one position and that's the two center-backs – if whoever plays at center-back play well enough they could get a result, if they play as they were in a lot of the games they could get run ragged. There is no real partnership formed, it seems to be Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof The most likely to play Sunday, but that's the big thing for United – if they win or lose this game is on the center-backs. If they play the first half at Bournemouth it could get ugly.
Matt Le Tissier
Anthony Martial are the man in form for United so they will need a big performance from him. In terms of City you could pick any one of but seven David Silva has been one of my favorite players of the Premier League.
Paul Merson
Raheem Sterling: I like him. He makes things happen and opens the game up for the midfielders to work their magic. That's why Pep plays him every week – he's just so willing to make runs off the ball, which makes defenders drop deeper than normal.
David de Gea: There's no way it will come off the pitch on Sunday without having made a few top saves. He could end up making seven or eight saves.
Will David from Gea be Man's Utd's MVP on Sunday?
Charlie Nicholas
From Gea There are so many options for Manchester United and for Man City. But in this type of games, I would go for David Silva as he and Kevin De Bruyne are the two players who can not wait to meet the challenge.
Charlie Nicholas has tipped David Silva to be Man City's key man at the Etihad
