Manchester Derby had 196 before this one. The first was in 1881. This is one of the oldest local rivalries in the world. Today’s game will have a huge impact on the EPL standings and developments, because both teams need to win, due to their current poor form.
Manchester City News
City lost to Tottenham at home, 0-2, and then suffered a defeat on the road in Brighton, 2-1. Guardiola’s team was up against the Seagulls yet squandered the lead afterward. This unit is shaky in the backline, and for the moment, that’s the biggest problem this unit has.
Counting in the FIFA Club World Cup games, 6 of the last 7 they’ve played have seen over 2.5 goals. They are still imposing fast and offensive-minded football, but the recent results weren’t as they planned.
Manchester United News
Talking about poor defense, United is even worse. In all four official games this year, we’ve seen the Red Devils conceding, and that’s the main reason for their poor performances. Amorim’s crew got eliminated from the EFL Cup by Grimsby, which was a first-class sensation.
The attack somewhat woke up in the most recent event, when United beat Burnley, 3-2. But we have to say that United didn’t deserve to win, and that the game-winner came in the deep extra-time.
Manchester City vs. Manchester United Head to Head
City had one win last year in three games, and it was in the Community Shield after the penalties. After that, United won at the Etihad, 1-2, and the final game of the year at Trafford saw no goals.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United Betting Predictions
City looks better despite losing the last two games. United’s game has no cohesion, no game plan, nothing, and that’s why we pick Man City to win here.
