So far it's been a draw for the first half of play and that's the problem with this Manchester united team, the matches you expect them to win they actually squander the game and the ones that looks unbelievable those are the ones that they do win and I will for one not be surprised if Manchester united can actually give away this game to the Nottingham forest because that's what they do best.

The Manchester derby is a bragging right and in as much as we all know that Manchester United have several players who are injured it still doesn't change the fact that Manchester City will dominate the game from the beginning to the end. Let's say UTD squad are complete without injuries it would be a pleasure for Pep Guardiola's boys to humiliate Manchester United, is like shutting them up and beating them home and away. What we all need to know is that it has already been official that ETH can't make Rashford and the other guys to be a force to stop City.
No doubt, Man UTD can get a point but the percentage of Manchester United to get at least a point is just 25% if not less. One thing we have to know about Pep is that this game is something he can't afford to lose and ETH men can't apply that counter attack you talking about, a team that hardly plays as a unit can't go toe to toe against the Citizens.

I don't recognize Newcastle United. There is almost no trace of the team that played a great game in the league last year. They couldn't show any presence against Arsenal. Arsenal beat them comfortably. If Chelsea wins their missing match, Newcastle United will drop another place. Chelsea and Newcastle are two teams that do not deserve to be in these places. This year they no longer have a claim, but I hope they won't have such times next year.

Despite the fact that Manchester United vs. Manchester City will be a hard match, I didn't think Manchester City would win after their performance against Chelsea. Their play was appalling, and considering how hard Chelsea worked to score one goal in the first half of the game, a draw would not have been possible if Chelsea had maintained their level of consistency. Nevertheless, Manchester City took advantage of Chelsea's poor second-half effort and equalized again. However, they will truly find it extremely difficult to win the upcoming game against Manchester United.

However Despite that, Manchester United's dismal start to the season, I have faith that they will make every effort to record their greatest victory. Man City, I don't think they can win the game because so many people are expecting Manchester United to do well.

Overall, even looking at the pre-match stats you could initially say they couldn't win, and it turned out that way, you're right. They were much more confident last season than they are now, they may be in the top 10, but is that a result for them? I think not. Moreover Arsenal are competing very closely with Liverpool and Manchester City at the moment, which the fans can't help but enjoy

Here we go again, can Manchester United make a win out of here for the second game play without Rasmus Højlund?

Well, what you are talking about is theoretically based. however, in football there is no definite formula for knowing which team will win and play well or not, even though it is filled with talented players on all fronts. but we agree that after all City has a very high probability in this United derby match. moreover, if I refer to it based on various variables, City is far superior in the next match apart from playing at the Etihad Stadium. the point is, for me it doesn't mean that Erik Ten Hag's squad doesn't have a chance to provide resistance. But more importantly, United will not field their full starting eleven in the next match. Based on several references I got, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Hojlund, and several other players are likely to be absent from this United derby match. So it's natural that City is much more favourite. Moreover, if I refer to bookies, Manchester City's odds are very low compared to Manchester United.

Well, it's not certain that what you say will happen, it could be that United, on the other hand, wins points at the Etihad Stadium. I am absolutely sure that Pep is very aware that Erik Ten Hag's squad's counter-attack system is quite dangerous. The point is, City will not underestimate United even though the team opposing City is not supported by some of their core players. I'm very sure that Ten Hag is aware of the team he is opposing. Maybe the Red Devil coach will only target a draw, regardless of whether they have the opportunity to break into City's goal. well, just look at how this match turned out. As a neutral fan, I hope United can provide exciting resistance in this United derby match.

By March, I don't think the 1-point gap between the top teams(Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal) will continue to be the same when the top teams meet one another because there is no way Manchester City will play against Liverpool and Arsenal by next month, we won't find a winner that will take home the 3 points. Definitely, we will have the top spot position change by points next month, it won't be a point difference again. I expect Manchester City to appear top of the table, followed by Liverpool and Arsenal

My statement was on conditions which I made it clear. There are instances that will happen if both occur, if Manchester City win them all it means they will win the league, while if they couldn’t win them there is an opportunity for either Arsenal or Liverpool to win the league.
I am also not in support of Manchester City to win the League because Premier League is not like League 1, or Bundesliga where only one team will be winning the league consistently without strong opposition, that is why I will like Arsenal or Liverpool to win the Premier League this season.

There is no need to start thinking about who will win the match because we can use their current performance, and the current state of the players to know the winner. It will be impossible for United to win City, because they are not strong compare to last season. United lost their last match which they were leading with 1-0 last weekend, ended up to be 2-1 against them.

City is now back and better, with consistency in their matches. All their players are in good form, my fear is that let them not score so many goals against United on that day. If United can draw this match, it means that they are lucky.

Although the match meeting between them will also be decisive but apart from that, I think Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are also still possible to lose or only get a drwa result when playing against other teams . For example, Manchester City were held to a draw with Chelsea in the previous match,obviously that result was also a obstacle for Manchester City to overtake Liverpool at that time and in this moment. Therefore, the point for them at this moment is to consistently win three points in each match. Because yes,ofcourse, if they manage to be consistent with good results like that, then when they meet later at least the results are not entirely decisive for the title because yes, the decisive thing is about better consistency than other competing teams.

The thing about the Manchester Derby is that most times form does not matter, it has happened a lot of times when United were in bad form coming into the derby, but they performed so well in the game and got something from it. City would have to be careful, because right now everyone believes United are struggling and so City should be victorious.

Having said that, City are in the title race, United are definitely not, City know that if they drop points it would be very costly and Arsenal and Liverpool would take advantage, thus City has more motivation to win this game imo, and they would prolly do that.

That was definitely a wrong move by Luton and they have seen why. I mean why would you try to play so aggressive against a team like City? Not saying that when other teams plays defensively it ends up working all the time, we have seen City beat defensive teams too, but trying some new strategy in order to catch them off guard was not a good idea as we can see.

Luton made a big mistake, they gambled the possibility of maybe it would work but we have seen it not working at all. They scored two goals, and if you said it before the game that Luton would score two goals against City, then I would be shocked, so their offense really did work this way, but their defense was in shatters because City is just way too good to play too aggressively.

The Manchester Derby is much awaited by fans of each supporter.

Of course we see there is a difference between these two Manchester because the Red Devils have lost at home, of course it is a shame because their performance is bad.

If Manchester City is no doubt especially they play at home, many players have also recovered this adds a serious threat to Manchester United.

What is the strategy? Pep Guardiola will master the strategy anyway who dares to bet on Manchester United except his own fans.

I don't doubt the fact that Manchester City can win, but in the one you're talking about Manchester City winning Arsenal and Liverpool you did not just conclude on the outcome since the season has not yet ended, I know Manchester City is good, and the way Manchester city wants to win the premier league so are other clubs putting in there best to win, and arsenal and Liverpool have put in a lot of good work just to win and they are seriously dragging Manchester city they did not make it easy for them at all, if not if it was like the previous season Manchester city would have collected a lot of points and other clubs will not be even close to them in time of point and even Liverpool is trying but there are some players that when they are around in Manchester city I use to be scared of how they play. but since the season is not yet over, and Manchester City facing United will be a tough win and I will wish for United to win to give us more advantage.

In last few years we have not good entertainment in Manchester derby with mostly it's controlled by Manchester City which is currently better team with their quality and consistency and now for the next derby most chances we will have result in favour of the Citizens with Manchester United which was awful now also hammered by injuries which are giving them more headache before end of this season because they were looking for the better end, but things are not favourable for them while they are having currently sixth spot and most chances we will have them here until end of this season because chances are not quite good for them to have any spot above this with all teams are doing good job and having better quality and consistency.

There are several interesting matches to look forward to, especially the matches between the top 4 teams at the moment. Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa will really make every match like a final from now on. The four teams will try their best not to lose points in each match, so each match will be very interesting to look forward to.

The derby match is certainly one to look forward to, but before that you can watch several others such as Tottenham vs Crystal Palace and Nottingham vs Liverpool. Regarding Liverpool, Nottingham is not a team that should be underestimated when Liverpool's squad is not yet complete. Liverpool have a lot of injuries which will force them to play with second-string players for some positions, so it might not be a great week for them.



In the last few seasons, Manchester City have dominated the Premier League and they are a team that has often won the derby. Derby matches are certainly different even though we know who the favorites are. I hope the match will be tough because Manchester City must continue to ensure victory to fight for the title.

In round 27 we have too many exciting matches which are going to be had good entertainment for the fans but still mostly are waiting for the Manchester derby even we all know how things are going with Manchester United which is having too many problems due to internal issues and also injuries are giving them concerns so now it's not interested as we have this in past other reason is Manchester City is now having good quality which is not comparable with Manchester United which is also having good players, but these are not able to perform as they needed.

Ten Hag fail to have things like this team needed in this season just because of this most chances we will have him he will also lose his job after end of this season because things are going from bad to worse which are not acceptable for the peoples related to this legendary club.

Highest rated Premier League duos for this season. Tarkowski and Brathwaite are the reason why Everton isn't in the Relegation zone. They've done a commendable job and same goes to Van Dijk/Konate, Gabriel/Saliba those 2 pairs have kept their respective teams in title contention because of their rock solid defending.

The world talks about this derby but is not as it used to be back in those days when you see the seriousness of both teams, no one wants to give up on the struggle, the challenge for who's better was there but now we see things that doesn't excite the fans.
Like I said before is a one sided game and Manchester United don't even have the quality of players that can march Man City in this derby, to me Manchester City have everything to get hold of that 3 point, starting from the goalkeeper to the attackers they're all good and you look at Man UTD, all you see are players who are just there to make names for themselves. Some players in Manchester United don't have what it takes to be wearing that UTD jersey, when its time for this game we're all going to see Man City running down the players of Manchester United.
