1. Manchester United v Manchester City — Premier League, 16:30
United go into the derby off the back of a comfortable Champions League win but a stuttering domestic run, against a City side unbeaten since their Community Shield defeat to Arsenal and full of confidence after a routine trip to Porto.
Manchester United — recent results
- Manchester United 4-0 Sabah (W, Champions League)
- Everton 2-2 Manchester United (D)
- Manchester United 5-2 Ipswich Town (W)
- Hull City 2-0 Manchester United (L)
- Manchester United 2-4 AC Milan (L, friendly)
Manchester City — recent results
- Porto 0-2 Manchester City (W, Champions League)
- Manchester City 1-0 Coventry City (W)
- Crystal Palace 1-4 Manchester City (W)
- Manchester City 2-1 Bournemouth (W)
- Manchester City 0-3 Arsenal (L, Community Shield)
United's win over Sabah in midweek was routine, but a draw and a defeat in their last two Premier League outings show the defensive uncertainty that's dogged them all season. City, by contrast, have won four straight since their Community Shield loss to Arsenal and head to Old Trafford full of rhythm after a comfortable night in Porto.
Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City. City's superior recent form should be enough to edge a tight derby, even with home advantage for United.
2. Elversberg v Bayern Munich — Bundesliga, 16:30
Elversberg's historic first-ever top-flight campaign continues against a Bayern Munich side yet to lose this season and fresh off a five-goal Champions League opener.
Elversberg — recent results
- Borussia Monchengladbach 4-3 Elversberg (L)
- Elversberg 3-2 Bayer Leverkusen (W)
- Duisburg 1-3 Elversberg (W, DFB-Pokal)
Bayern Munich — recent results
- Bayern Munich 5-0 Bodo/Glimt (W, Champions League)
- Schalke 0-0 Bayern Munich (D)
- VfL Osnabruck 1-4 Bayern Munich (W, DFB-Pokal)
- Bayern Munich 5-1 Stuttgart (W)
- Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Bayern Munich (W, Supercup)
Elversberg's win over Leverkusen was a huge early-season shock and shows they're capable of springing another, but a 4-3 defeat at Monchengladbach was a reminder of the defensive gaps a side of Bayern's quality could exploit. Bayern have scored 17 goals in their last four matches and arrive in irresistible form.
Prediction: Elversberg 1-4 Bayern Munich. Elversberg have shown they can score, but Bayern's current scoring rate makes a comfortable away win the clear favourite outcome.
3. Napoli v Bologna — Serie A, 17:00
Two sides short on results meet at the Maradona, with Napoli having taken just three points from three games and Bologna still searching for their first win of the season.
Napoli — recent results
- Napoli 2-0 Genoa (W)
- Como 2-1 Napoli (L)
- Inter Milan 3-2 Napoli (L)
- Napoli 0-1 Arsenal (L, Champions League)
Bologna — recent results
- Bologna 0-1 Lazio (L)
- Bologna 0-1 Atalanta (L)
- Bologna 2-2 Sassuolo (D)
Napoli's collapse from 2-0 up to lose at Inter was a low point, and they've now lost their last three across all competitions including the midweek Champions League defeat to Arsenal, with Scott McTominay also sidelined for around two weeks. Bologna have shown fight, twice coming from behind against Sassuolo, but a winless start leaves them still waiting for their first three points of the campaign.
