Insight and Analysis: Manchester City vs Manchester United Premier League Match Prediction
Manchester City vs Manchester United Premier League Match Prediction, Preview, Team News, Injuries/Suspensions, How to Watch, Whereto watch and Tv Channels.
Manchester City weren’t at their best in midweek but ran out 2-0 winners away to Championship strugglers Peterborough in the FA Cup.
They haven’t really been at their best for a number of weeks now and have allowed Liverpool to close the gap at the top of the Premier League.
After a fairly affordable start to life as Manchester United manager, in terms of the quality of opposition faced, now things get really tough for Ralf Rangnick.
United didn’t even make the most of that run so it is difficult to see them picking up many points over the next month or so.
United have remarkably won their last three matches at the Eithad but everyone expects City to come away with three points on Sunday.
Players to watch:
Riyad Mahrez has netted in three of Man City’s last four matches, twice opening the scoring.
Although United’s Fernandes scored the opener in this fixture last term, seven of his nine PL goals this season came after the 40th minute.
Hot stat:
Man City are yet to concede a PL home goal between the 16th minute and half-time this season.
Team News
Manchester City
Cristiano Ronaldo was not pictured with the Manchester United squad on Saturday night leading to suggestions he won’t play at the Etihad.
Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani were also among the players missing for United on the eve of the derby.
Harry Maguire will return to the starting XI after being rested in last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Watford.
Bruno Fernandes may be asked to play a new, false nine role for United with Ronaldo and Cavani both potentially missing.
Moving Fernandes into the front three would enable Ralf Rangnick to start one of Fred or Nemanja Matic in midfield for greater defensive balance.
Diogo Dalot hasn’t started any of United’s last three and faces renewed competition from Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.
Anthony Elanga deserves to start over Marcus Rashford on form but it wouldn’t surprise if Rangnick went with the latter on Sunday.
