Preview
Manchester City and Manchester United will lock horns in a highly-anticipated Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium on Monday. The Citizens will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and consolidate their position at the top of the table, while the Red Devils will aim to close the gap on their rivals. City head into this game on the back of a thrilling 3-1 victory over Arsenal, which saw them move three points clear of Arsenal at the summit of the Premier League. They have been in imperious form this season, winning 16 of their 18 league games. United, meanwhile, have endured a mixed start to the campaign. They sit fifth in the table, eight points behind City, but have shown signs of improvement under Erik ten Hag. They will be buoyed by their recent 2-1 win over Liverpool, which ended their rival's unbeaten start to the season.
Head-to-Head
Manchester City have a slight edge over Manchester United in recent head-to-head meetings. The Citizens have won four of the last six encounters, including a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season. However, United have a good record at the Etihad Stadium, winning three of their last five matches there.
Betting Tips
Manchester City are the clear favorites to win this game. They are in excellent form and have a superb record against Manchester United. A home win is the most likely outcome, and we predict that City will win 2-1. However, United have shown that they can be dangerous on their day. They have a number of talented players who can hurt City, and we believe that they could be worth a bet at the odds of 5.00. Another interesting betting option is both teams to score. This has happened in five of the last six meetings between these two teams, and we think it could be a good bet again at the odds of 1.75.
