Manchester City vs Manchester United, 4.30pm GMT
Prediction:
Over 3.5 Goals @2/1
Preview:
Manchester City will be looking to take another huge step towards winning this season’s Premier League title when they welcome bitter rivals Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Pep Guardiola’s side, who are on an incredible 21-game winning run in all competitions, top the table, 14 points clear of second-placed Man United, who are very much locked in a battle for a top-four finish.
A win for City in the Manchester derby could put them, if they aren’t already, completely out of sight of their cross-town rivals in the hunt for the Premier League title by extending their lead at the top to 17 points.
The Blues will also be eager to keep their remarkable 21-game winning streak going against their neighbours, who have hit a rough patch of form in recent weeks.
United have failed to score in their last three encounters but Pep Guardiola will not be dismissing their attacking threat and is certain to name his strongest possible line up.
