Raheem Sterling looking to end 16-game drought against Manchester United

Manchester City's Raheem Sterling will be looking to end his run of 16 Premier League games without a goal against Manchester United in Saturday's derby.

Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling will be aiming to break his scoring duck against Manchester United when the Citizens face off against their arch rivals at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The England international has enjoyed a rather fruitful start to the campaign and boasts eight goals and six assists in all competitions this term.

However, the former Liverpool man just cannot seem to produce the goods against Man United, with the Red Devils defence nullifying Sterling in recent derbies.

Should Sterling fail to find the back of the net at Old Trafford this weekend, it will mark his 17th Premier League game against Manchester United without a goal to his name.

The 26-year-old has set up his teammates twice against the Red Devils but is yet to find the back of the net himself, with James Milner the last Englishman to net for City in the derby in 2013 - a game which the Citizens won 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Sterling has also turned out against United four times in the EFL Cup, and the winger failed to notch up any goals in those fixtures either.
