Manchester United vs Manchester City Predictions

Manchester City have lost just one of their last eight league games, a 2-0 loss to Tottenham.

They have won eight of their last ten in all competitions, including a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16 and a 2-1 win over Aston Villa in the League Cup Final.

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four league games and last six games in all competitions.

United have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games, including shut outs against Wolves and Chelsea.

 

Half Time Result Prediction

Manchester United have gone behind in four of their last eight league games, whereas Manchester City have taken the lead in six of their last eight. However, United have only been trailing at the break in three of those, whilst Manchester City have only led twice.

More often than not, both teams have gone in level. Manchester United have more at stake so do not be surprised to see a conservative approach employed by Solskjaer’s side, at least in the early stages of the game.

 

Full-time Result Prediction

The possible absence of Kevin De Bruyne could be a huge blow for Manchester City. Aymeric Laporte’s recent injury is also a blow but Fernandinho has performed admirably in his stead.

Manchester United will be without Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial for the foreseeable but Bruno Fernandes good form will give them cause for optimism. If Manchester City can close him down quickly and stifle any long shots from the Portuguese, they will be preventing one of United’s main weapons. Rodri, who has played well in recent weeks, will likely be tasked with this.

Up front City have plenty of fire power in Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, both of whom have delivered when called upon recently. Sterling’s return from injury will also be a big bonus, as we saw against Real Madrid with his instant impact off the bench.

 

Anytime Goalscorer Tip

It’s never certain who will start, especially with the fixture congestion Manchester City face. However, Guardiola is likely to hand Jesus at least 30 minutes in the derby and that may be all he needs. The Brazilian has been in good goal scoring form recently and could make the difference.
