Manchester United's record against teams from the top half of the Premier Leage table is not promising, ahead of Tuesday's clash at home to Manchester City.
The Red Devils have won only twice and lost as many as eight times against those. They have lost 32 points in the process. One of those defeats occured at the Etihad Stadium as they stumbled to a 4-1 score line against Man City.
Interestingly, David Moyes' home record is almost similar to Manuel Pellegrini's away record in the EPL this season.
Time for the Red Devils to give Manchester City's title hopes a blow?
