Manchester United and Manchester City have a break from action this weekend as the first international break of the season continues.
Both clubs have had differing fortunes to start the season with City the only side to win all of their Premier League games as they aim to claim a fourth-straight title. United, meanwhile, have won both of their home fixtures but have been beaten in their two away games with both of those losses coming in North London to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, respectively.
With four games played, data experts at Opta have simulated how the season will play out and predicted the most likely finishing position for every team. Here is where they are tipping the two Manchester clubs to finish...

Liverpool, the 'unstoppable' machine that they are, have changed their minds again on how to replace the furious Klopp. Szoboszlai will catch Gerrard soon.
With Haaland on the bench at St James’ Park, City suddenly looked like they lacked goals from elsewhere; is Pep Guardiola now overly reliant on his top scorer?
The England international was stripped of the Man Utd captaincy by Erik ten Hag and was heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford throughout the summer
The 29-year-old has undoubtedly been one of Man City's most important players in the last few years, and Pep Guardiola wants to keep hold of him for as long as possible
Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf has admitted that he has been "disgusted" by recent developments at the Premier League club as Todd Boehly is "killing" them.
