Manchester City and Manchester United shared the spotlight in the 2023/24 season.
The Cityzens dominated both league encounters, winning a record fourth consecutive Premier League title, while United got their revenge in the FA Cup.
Pep Guardiola’s team made history as the first to win four straight Premier League titles but couldn’t defend their FA Cup crown.
Despite losing both league matches to their fierce rivals by a combined score of 6-1, the Red Devils had the last laugh, defeating City 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley in late May.
As a result, these familiar foes will clash again in the 2024/25 FA Community Shield, their first matchup since United’s 3-2 victory in 2011, on August 10.
However, Premier League fans will have to wait until December 14 for the first league Manchester derby of the 2024/25 season, set to take place at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City is one of only seven clubs to increase season ticket prices by at least 10%, although their cheapest ticket remains relatively affordable at £425.
Meanwhile, Man United adjusted their ticket prices in line with inflation, with a 3.6% increase, making their cheapest season ticket £579.
The Old Trafford faithful will likely overlook the cost when Guardiola’s squad arrives at the Theatre of Dreams on April 5, 2025, hoping to be United’s 12th player against the reigning champions.
Manager Erik ten Hag won his first league Manchester derby at Old Trafford in January 2023, but that remains his only top-flight victory in four matches against Man City.
United lost the other three encounters, conceding at least three goals each time, including a 3-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture in October 2023. The upcoming Manchester derby promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams strive for supremacy.
