Manchester Utd Preview – Can United take bragging rights?
Manchester United’s unbeaten run in all competitions stretched to 9 matches during the week when they registered a convincing 3-0 win away from home at Championship side, Derby County, in the FA Cup and they’ll no doubt be hoping they can continue this impressive sequence of results on Sunday as they attempt to quieten their ‘noisy neighbours’.
United are also now unbeaten in their last 4 matches overall in the Premier League as well following their point at Goodison Park with a 1-1 draw against Everton which followed a 0-0 draw with Wolves and back-to-back wins against Chelsea (2-0 away) and a 3-0 home win over Watford.
Sunday’s hosts have suffered just 1 defeat at Old Trafford out of their last 12 matches too amidst an overall home record of 7-5-2 27/12 but there have been a number of draws in their home matches this season (4 of their 5 draws have been score-draws), and this being a local derby against City, the goals market looks the best option.
8 of Manchester United’s 14 home matches have seen both teams score.
Manchester City Preview – Can City extend winning streak?
The visitors are also in blistering form right now as Pep Guardiola’s side have collected 5 wins on the trot in all competitions which included a midweek 1-0 win away from home at Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup, so they too will be keen on rubbing United’s noses in it this Sunday.
The league title has gone for City but they head into this clash having won 3 of their last 4 matches in the top flight with victories over Sheffield United, West Ham and Leicester City, with this latter result opening up a 7-point lead over 3rd placed Leicester City, but a win at Old Trafford would see that lead increased to 10 points.
Manchester City have been vulnerable at times though on the road this season as their away record of 9-1-4 35/17 indicates, and despite picking up recent wins at Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Leicester City, The Citizens have also lost at Wolves 3-2 and Tottenham 2-0, so the goals market appeals again here where the visitors are concerned.
8 of Manchester City’s 14 away matches have also seen both teams score.
