Man City are expected to make the home advantage pay in the Manchester derby this weekend.
16:30 Sunday
The Manchester derby takes centre stage this weekend with both sides having everything to prove. City are chasing redemption after a poor start, while United look to build momentum after a dramatic win over Burnley.
Man City vs Man United Prediction
- Man City’s title bid is already under threat just three games into the season. The defeat to Brighton before the international break leaves them nine points behind leaders Liverpool, and with a trip to Arsenal looming, Pep Guardiola’s side must respond.
- Despite their own struggles, Man United head into the derby above City in the table — a rarity in recent years. Their late win over Burnley offered a much-needed boost, but their away form remains poor, with just two wins on the road since their victory at the Etihad last December.
- City’s quality and home advantage should prove decisive, but United’s unpredictability adds intrigue to what promises to be a fiery encounter.
Score Prediction: Man City 3-1 Man United
