Financial head-to-head Man Utd v Man City

Backed by Abu Dhabi's petro-dollars and sponsorships linked to the Gulf state, Manchester City have done what seemed impossible 15 years ago: outperformed their neighbours on the pitch, and matched them off it.

United nevertheless remain England's biggest club by most metrics: success, fanbase, even social media reach - which is double City's.

United are without an EPL title since 2013; City have won four in this time. Saturday's match sees them come face to face after similarly indifferent starts to the season. City have won six of their opening 10 fixtures, United just five.
