Having been underdogs for decades in this fixture, the swing to City has been so quick and so hard that the few years when the teams were competing against each other for silverware a decade ago seem much further back in time.

United seem stuck there, as evidenced by Jonny Evans lining up at centre-back against City at Old Trafford for the first time since the 6-1 in 2011 in the season that brought City their first Premier League title.
