Man Utd vs Man City tips and predictions: More matchday misery for United at Old Trafford

I think there will be a goal in the first half and that will probably come to Man City.

Take into account that no Premier League side has a better record at Old Trafford than Man City.

I think they’re in fine form, I think Haaland will get on the scoresheet and I think there’ll be goals. Three to City but only one to Manchester United.

Man Utd vs Man City team news

Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo and Jadon Sancho look set to miss out again, while Casemiro, Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are doubtful.

Sergio Reguillon, Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot should continue their run in the team.

Man City will be without the injured Kevin De Bruyne while in a further blow, Manuel Akanji is suspended after his red card against Brighton.

Key stats

- Man City have won more Premier League games (8) at Old Trafford than any other side.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider

This is going to be an almighty test for the Reds and some late Scott McTominay goals can’t paper over the cracks of recent league form.

Pep Guardiola’s side have recorded seven wins in nine to begin the season but suffered rare back-to-back defeats at the hands of Wolves and Arsenal.

The most worrying thing about their away form this season is that they’ve conceded in each of their last seven, so both teams to score looks like a good starting point.

Both teams to score has landed in the last four meetings with those games producing a total of 20 goals.

When you break down United’s home form this season, it’s fair to say they’ve ridden their luck and could be winless.

Forest, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Brentford scored five unanswered goals in the opening 25 minutes and it would be a crime to gift City such a start.

Julian Alvarez has flourished in the absence of De Bruyne, scoring seven and assisting four.
