It's only one month since Manchester United crossed the city and won at The Etihad.
Tonight's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg is at Old Trafford, yet bookies thepools.com make City odds on favourites to triumph.
Are they correct? We asked our Manchester City expert Simon Bajkowski how he sees tonight's tie going.
Win, lose or draw?
Win. City have won seven out of eight since that Etihad upset in early December. They are 4/6 with thepools.com for a reason.
Who's a good bet for first scorer?
Only one of Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero are likely to play but Raheem Sterling is almost certain to start and is still the club's top scorer. He's a relatively big 9/2 to open the scoring at The Etihad and 7/5 to score at any time.
Who's on the naughty step?
Rodri. Always a good tip for first card. Especially in a derby.
Who's on penalties?
Aguero, if he plays. Gabriel Jesus is the likeliest bet if he doesn't although there's no proven deputy. Aguero is 11/4 to open the scoring and 4/5 any time, with Jesus fractionally bigger on 7/2 first goal and Evens any time.
Will City keep a clean sheet?
On the one hand, City couldn't even manage a clean sheet against Port Vale. On the other, United couldn't manage a shot on target at Wolves. If Claudio Bravo plays you can't be confident of a clean sheet. Both Teams To Score looks a solid call at 4/6 .
