Few would have expected Manchester United to enter Sunday's derby in better form (results-wise) than Manchester City but three consecutive wins have made it so.
Erik ten Hag's side got the ball rolling in the Champions League with Tuesday's 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen, although it was far from smooth sailing.
The Danish side were well drilled, confident and undoubtedly the better side for much of the game until Harry Maguire's close-range header.
United almost found a way to throw victory away regardless, with Andre Onana forced into a heroic added-time penalty save after Scott McTominay was penalised for a high boot.
