Manchester United went there last season and proved they can do it and they’ll take great confidence from that
Darren Fletcher on Man Utd against Man City
After their record-breaking campaign last season, City once again look destined to be challenging for top spot this term.
But United inflicted one of City’s two defeats last season - the 3-2 win in April.
United came from two goals down at half time to win the game, with Paul Pogba bagging a brace.
Mourinho’s side have also come from behind to claim points in three of their last four league games this season.

And Fletcher believes his former team can take confidence from April’s turnaround into Sunday’s match.
“Probably more confident off the back of last season, that fixture there where they did well and came back,” he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.
“Obviously you look at City and they’re starting to hit form, especially the goals they were scoring this weekend.
“They’ll be a real worry going to the best team in the league, one of the best teams in the country, it will be very difficult.
