With an EFL Cup under their belt, Manchester City can smell blood.
With Liverpool faltering, City are looking to show their dominance, and even though the Premier League title is gone, Pep Guardiola's men are looking to flex their muscles in every coming match.
As for Manchester United, they too are in fine form.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions and did actually beat their rivals in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg 1-0, but couldn't overturn the 3-1 first-leg defeat.
