Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Thursday evening brings us another local derby to keep the weekend’s theme going as Manchester City take on crosstown rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium with not only bragging rights at stake, but also a valuable three points in their quests for Champions League football.
Manchester City are now solely focused upon reaching the Champions League spot as they suffered defeat in extra time against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final, but with two games in hand over current third placed side Liverpool and just a two point deficit, City look to be well placed to overhaul The Reds into third place.
The Citizens also possess a solid home record which stands at 8-6-1 27/15 and they come into this encounter having registered back-to-back wins over Hull City 3-1 at home and a convincing 3-0 win away at Southampton last time out in the Premier League.
Manchester United currently occupy fifth spot in the Premier League just a point behind their rivals Manchester City, and three points adrift of Liverpool but they too have two games in hand over the merseyside outfit.
Since suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea (Mourinho’s former club of course), way back last October, Manchester United have put together an impressive 23-game unbeaten streak which has helped lift them back into Champions League contention.
The Red Devils come into this match on the back of three straight wins registered over Sunderland (away), Chelsea (at home) and last weekend’s 2-0 win at Burnley, while their away record stands at an impressive 10-3-2 27/13.
With both teams jostling for the last remaining Champions League spot, I’ll back both teams to score tonight.
