The Premier League are saving the best ’til last this weekend, with the standout fixture of the gameweek seeing Manchester United welcome noisy neighbours Manchester City to Old Trafford for what is bound to be an intriguing affair.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team have been resurgent of late, heading into this high profile tie on the back of a nine match unbeaten streak and with the top four within touching distance. Manchester City aren’t in bad shape either, but even after five consecutive wins in all competitions they still find themselves some 22 points adrift of champions-elect Liverpool.
The vast majority of Pep Guardiola’s attention will be on the Champions League now, especially with the European ban looming over their heads. However, it would be a massive shock if he chose to rest players for the derby, so we can expect to see both teams going at it hammer and tongs on Sunday.
With that in mind, we’ve delved into all the stats and facts and put together a delicious looking 50/1 bet365 Bet Builder for Sunday’s action! You can find the rest of our Manchester United vs Manchester City predictions here too.
