Ruben Amorim has said Manchester City are in a "better place" than Manchester United ahead of the derby on Sunday despite Pep Guardiola's team losing seven of their last 10 games.
City's Champions League defeat to Juventus on Wednesday means the Premier League champions have won just one of their last 10 matches.
United, meanwhile, fought back from a goal down to beat FC Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday.
Amorim is preparing for his first Manchester derby this weekend and insisted that City are still more likely to win at the Etihad Stadium despite their recent struggles.
