Financial Insights Manchester City v Manchester United

Last year's champions are struggling to keep pace with Liverpool at the top of the league and a win against United would surely be a massive boost to morale at Etihad Stadium.

Manchester United secured an important win against their former manager, José Mourinho, and Tottenham Hotspur in the midweek round, but still find themselves eight points behind the fop four.

Despite Manchester City's massive lead in the table, the visitors' wage bill is £17 million larger than that of the home team.
