Manchester Derby Head To Head: City Now Just Six Wins And One Goal Behind United
Manchester City are now just six wins behind Manchester United in terms of their all-time head-to-head record in the Premier League.
It took City 20 seasons to finish above United in the EPL. United had already been crowned Premier League champions on 12 occasions by the time City won the title for the first time in 2012.
Since then, City have won the title five more times, while United have not been champions since 2013.
In terms of Premier League titles, United currently lead City 13-6.
It will take City at least another eight years of Premier League dominance to overtake United as the competition's most successful club ever.
But City may be able to claim a superior head-to-head record much sooner.
