Manchester United vs Manchester City Preview

The Manchester Derby is one of the biggest events in the English football calendar, especially since the noisy neighbours started winning trophies and attracted the best players to Manchester to give a tough fight to Manchester United. The battle between the Cityzens and the Red Devils would be even more interesting on Sunday with the Cityzens fighting for a Champions League spot.

Manchester United

Placed 13th in the league standings, Manchester United have collected 37 points from 30 matches and have had an underwhelming season as they were recently knocked out of the FA Cup as well by Aston Villa. The Red Devils would now be hoping to qualify for the UEFA Champions League by virtue of winning the Europa League where they will face Lyon in the quarter-final.

Amorim is missing the services of long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo, and Amad Diallo. While Ayden Heaven is also ruled out of the fixture on Sunday, Luke Shaw might make his first appearance under Amorim as the left-footed defender continues his recovery in the gym.

Manchester City

Manchester City find themselves in an unlikely situation of fighting for a Champions League spot during the last weeks of the season while they also await a trip to Wembley Stadium to face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final. With the Cityzens trailing league leaders Liverpool by 22 points with 8 matches to go, the cup competition is their only hope to win a trophy in the ongoing season.

Erling Haaland has been ruled out for a period of six to seven weeks with an ankle injury and might play a part in the FA Cup final if the medical team decides to risk the Norweigian striker before the FIFA Club World Cup that will be taking place in the USA. While centre-backs John Stones, Nathan Ake, and Manuel Akanji remain unavailable, we might see the return of Oscar Bobb, with the young starlet already representing the second team.

Manchester United vs Manchester City Under/Over Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Manchester United Total goals Over 1.5 @ +143 (MGM Bet): After the resumption of club football after the international break, the Red Devils failed to score as they went down 1-0 to Nottingham Forest but the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Bruno Fernandes would certainly fancy their chances against a makeshift City defense.

Manchester United vs Manchester City Player Picks

Omar Marmoush (To Score a Goal @ +180 as per MGM Bet): The leading goalscorer for Manchester City, Erling Haaland, has been ruled out, leaving the pressure of finding the back of the net on new signing Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward will fill in at No.9 for the next seven weeks and started the period off on a good note as he scored against Leicester City to take his goal-scoring tally to 5 goals in 8 Premier League appearances.

Manchester United vs Manchester City Match Prediction

The Red Devils have a chance of doing a double over their noisy neighbours in front of the home crowd and Amorim would certainly like to achieve that feat which could certainly bring him closer to the crowds at Old Trafford.

Our Final Prediction: A 2-2 draw is the most likely outcome from the battle of two of the top sides in England.
