Man City v Man Utd Betting Tips: Who’s going to rule Manchester?

Preview and odds for Premier League clash

The red and blue halves of Manchester go into battle this afternoon as Manchester City host Manchester United.

League leaders City will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record. But United will feel like they can beat anyone after winning away to Juventus in midweek.

Add in the rivalry between Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho and it’s set up very nicely indeed. The Sky Sports cameras will have the action from 4:30pm. We’ll make sure you’re set with all the key info…

Head-to-Head

United may have not have come close to City in the table in recent years, but there hasn’t been much to split them on the pitch.

City have won four of the last 10 derbies, United have also won four, with two draws.

Mourinho’s side will be encouraged that the away side won both meetings last season.

Likely XIs

City rested Benjamin Mendy against Shakhtar Donestsk in the week. The left-back will regain his place here. Vincent Kompany could also come into defence. The champions have only lost one derby that he started since April 2015.

Gabriel Jesus got a hat-trick against Shakhtar, but that might not be enough to keep his spot ahead of Sergio Aguero. Riyad Mahrez may get the nod ahead of Leroy Sane on the right too.

After a stirring display from his side in Turin, Mourinho isn’t likely to change things too much. That means Ander Herrera is set to keep his place in midfield ahead of Fred.

He may be forced to make a switch in attack though as Alexis Sanchez is a doubt. If the Chilean can’t start, Marcus Rashford should get the nod.
