Manchester United News and Form
There were more points dropped by Manchester United last weekend in the Premier League as Wolves held out for a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. They were on a three-match winning streak across all competitions before that so were in something of an upward swing of form. This is only their fourth home fixture of the season and their form at Old Trafford has been indifferent at W1 D1 L1. They have not managed to pick up a clean sheet on home soil either this season which is a bit of a surprise. For our Manchester United v Derby predictions were are going to look at under 2.5 goals at 27/20 odds* (betting odds taken from September 23rd, 2018 at 7:35 pm). The Red Devils have beaten the Rams in each of their last four against them at Old Trafford. The last time they met was in the FA Cup back in January the season with the Red devils banking a 2-0 home win.
Derby News and Form
Derby have had some indifferent performances this season, but in general, they have put together a pretty strong season. They started their EFL Cup campaign with a win out on the road at Oldham and then they went back on the road to beat Hull in the last round. They have produced a W7 D1 L3 record across all competitions, but their goal output hasn’t been all that high really, which is probably their one let-down. Defensively they have been strong as they shipped just the two goals in their last seven games played. Both teams not to score in the game is at 4/7 odds* (betting odds taken from September 23rd, 2018 at 7:35 pm). Derby have produced a W4 L2 record in their last six away games, scoring at least two goals in each of their away games so far this term.

Manchester United v Derby Predictions
Manchester United to win: Things still look hit and miss for United and their starting eleven will get disrupted on Tuesday. That will probably conspire to make this a low-scoring game and Manchester United to win to nil appeals in our Manchester United v Derby predictions.
