Manchester City vs Manchester United Predictions, Team News, Possible Line-ups From Both Teams, and Kick-off time. The 195th Manchester derby will take place today at the Etihad Stadium.
On and Off, Manchester City faces Ruben Amorim’s United at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon at the Etihad stadium. Pep Guardiola’s City, who have been poor in their last 7 games, will be aiming to grab a win at their home grounds against the Red Devils.
With much hope from United’s camp, Ruben Amorim’s men will be aiming to take advantage of City’s recent awful performance to grab the three points at the Etihad, but the question remains, “Can they?”
The defending champions have dropped a lot of points across all competitions in their last 10 games, whereas the Red Devils are coming into the game with back-to-back Premier League defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
With Manchester City still struggling with injuries and no proper replacement for Rodri and Manchester United also finding their footing under Ruben Amorim. The official first Manchester Derby for this season’s Premier League will be a joy to watch with no certain predictions as both sides are equally favourites grab the 3 points.
