Try not to miss the classic English Premier League derby, where two clubs with rich histories go head to head: Manchester United and Manchester City.
Manchester United approach this crucial fixture sitting seventh in the league table. Their campaign has been defined by a large number of draws, only occasionally broken up by wins and losses. Last round marked a first real test for United’s new interim head coach Darren Fletcher, but it didn’t go to plan: the Red Devils were held to a 2–2 away draw against Burnley.
Manchester City currently occupy second place in the Premier League, but that position brings little comfort to the fans. The gap to leaders Arsenal continues to grow, especially after three consecutive draws. In Round 21, City once again failed to secure all three points, drawing 1–1 at home against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Prediction for the Manchester United vs Manchester City
It appears that the growing list of injured players is having a real impact on Manchester City’s results. This is where Pep Guardiola’s recent comments about “having no one left to play” feel particularly relevant. I believe Manchester United will gladly take advantage of their city rivals’ difficulties and, boosted by the momentum that often comes with a new manager, can give City a tough time. My recommendation is to back a Manchester United win.
