    Saturday would again be a derby day in the Premier League as defending champions Manchester City collide against city rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium. The derby is expected to be at its highest intensity as usual. Furthermore, both teams are fighting for supremacy in the top four. Meanwhile, here we present all the important Manchester derby stats you need to know.

    United hold the record for longest winning run against City

    United swiftly dominated City under Sir Alex Ferguson, as it was between 1993 and 2000 when the former held a seven-match winning run against the side. Meanwhile, between 2013 and 2014, City notched up their best winning run, of four matches in the EPL, following the departure of Ferguson.

    As far as winning by a big margin is concerned, City hold the official record of a 6-1 rout on two occasions. Incidentally, both came at Old Trafford (January 1992 and October 2011). As for United, they decimated City 7-1 in a war league derby at Maine Road in April 1941. Although the result is not considered an official one, the derby still stands.

    Ryan Giggs and Vincent Kompany have played the most derbies

    When it came to the Manchester derby, United had one man they could always rely upon, and it was Ryan Giggs, as the legend went on to play 29 EPL derbies. As for City, Vincent Kompany holds the record for having played 20 EPL derbies.

    Five players have represented both clubs in Premier League

    It is unique to see a player from a club making an appearance for a rival club. On the same note, a total of five players have represented both Manchester clubs so far in the Premier League era. Interestingly, all played for United initially, before the move. The players include Peter Schmeichel, Andy Cole, Owen Hargreaves, Andrei Kanchelskis, and Carlos Tevez.
