In all, the teams have played 185 games in all competitions, with United winning 77, City winning 55, and the remaining 53 being drawn. They are two of England's most successful clubs, having won 94 titles between them: a record 66 for Manchester United and 28 for Manchester City.
The rivalry is especially strong because both clubs are based in Manchester, which is a small city with a population of 1.5 million. The clubs appeal to different groups of fans - City supporters are known as "Mancs" - and each has a famous stadium. Man United play at Old Trafford while City use the Etihad Stadium as their home ground.
However, despite their history of success, both clubs are currently struggling financially. This means that if you're looking to follow either team then you'll need to be prepared for some difficult times when it comes to sports betting.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the match continues to attract large crowds. The latest estimate is that 150,000 people go to see one of these games every week, which makes it one of the biggest events in British sport outside of the Olympics and World Cup.
