It's just a possibility, but the chances for a draw are no better than a Manchester City win.
I'm considering Manchester City's win because it's a home game, it will make Manchester City play maximum to secure 3 points.
Then from that, I think the performance of Manchester City players is reliable and they are not only very dangerous for one player, but all Manchester City players can score goals so I'm sure they won't rely too much on strikers.

Again, the chances for a draw will certainly be low and maybe it will be even lower for a Manchester United win. I have no doubts about Manchester City's performance, but of course I will doubt Manchester United's performance. If Manchester United win, then obviously it will be very surprising.

The premier league getting more actions because their are tough clubs in the league and quality players. The fight for the premier league will get tougher as we ascend to the midseason. One thing special about the premier league is that small team always challenge big clubs in the league. Like Brentford humiliating Manchester United 4-0 in the games of the season. There's absolutely no regards for big clubs and one needs to know their opponents weaknesses.

It's only natural that more people bet on Man City's victory against Man United. Because Man City's performance is more convincing than
Man United, even Man City is unbeaten in both the Premier League and Champions League. What's more impressive than Man City this season is
that they have been very productive in scoring goals, we can see that Man City has scored 23 goals in the Premier League. Very different from
the goals from Man United, which Man United can only score 8 goals in the Premier League. So I wonder if Man United can stop Man City players
from scoring goals, it seems very difficult for Man United defenders to stop Haaland from scoring a goal, considering Haaland's form so far.
I'm also going to end up betting on Man City's win too.

i will also bet for city. because even though Manchester United have so far started to show improvement in their sector of play and are better than at the beginning of the season. but still manchester city is a strong opponent and hard to beat him. Manchester city has played a lot with other strong clubs. and Manchester city is still going strong. different from Arsenal, which played more with teams that were not too strong. There is a big difference between playing against Arsenal and playing against Manchester City. but the premier league is full of surprises. so let's see if in the match between manchester city vs manchester united there will be a surprise or not. but that's another fun of the premier league.

Anything can happen. Draw is the main target for MU but winning the match is a must caused by MU lack of points and it needs more point for sure to make the position of team to go up. We know that manchester city was also in the top positions and when city lose from MU, city will able to decrease. MU must win in this much caused by the team is capable enough to make it happen. Arsenal as the top position in EPL can be beaten by MU and why are you thinking different when it was against city? that sounds non sense for me.

Yep, having many players who can play in some positions make it more flexible. Arteta can easily rotate the players' positions on the lineup. However, Arsenal main players seem not strong enough to compete with a stronger team like Man City. It may be quite enough to compete for local competition, but for international competitions Arsenal current squad looks not really convincing.

Well, there are some players injured. According to transfermarkt, they are Zinchenko, Partey, Elneny, and Nelson. I think the absence of these players, won't impact so much on Arsenal lineup since they have enough players as the substitution. And the quality of substituted players seems not so much different from the injured players. So, why it will be a big blow for Arsenal coach (Arteta)?

Can anyone remember the strategy that Erik Ten Hag used to win Arsenal in his last Premier league match? If we can remember, we will know that Manchester United can come out of that Manchester with a whole 3 points. Erik set trap for Arteta and he fell for it. When he introduced Ronaldo and remove Antony and Sancho,  the whole Arsenal players came forward to press because they say Ronaldo as old and Rashford capitalised on that and dealt with them. Counter attack is real

Well the possibility of the Manchester United match against Manchester City could end in a draw. but it can happen if Manchester United can stay consistent with the recent improvement. because recently Manchester United does look better. different from when the beginning of the season was very chaotic for Manchester United. but Manchester city is no ordinary team. But Manchester City are really a strong team and they have consistency in maintaining their team's performance in every game. so I think this game will be a very tough match for Manchester United. and if Manchester united can beat Manchester city it will be the most surprising thing this season.

Yes, Man City players must try all out to win the match because they expect to overtake Arsenal in the first place. Moreover, the match will be held at Man City home, they must have a high motivation to win with big scores. There is no reason that Man City to expect a draw result. Guardiola will be a shame if they fail to get full points, the match against Man United is very crucial for them. It is not only about the points, but it is also about the prestige.

I have watched all City's games this season, i don't know if you know, but i am a City supporter, and i can tell you categorically that we haven't been at our fluid best in many games in the Premier League this season, our outstanding games were against West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, but you see our games against teams like Newcastle were we had to come from two goals down to get a 3-3 draw, mind you that Newcastle were somewhat the better team that day, or against Crystal Palace were we had to come back from two goals down to win 4-2, we had a pretty bad first half, but an excellent second half.

Having said that, the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa wasn't impressive too, City struggled quite a lot in that game, and even in our last outing against Wolves, for someone who didn't watch the game, you could prolly think since the scoreline was 3-0 in favor of City, that they dominated the game, but no, City were sluggish throughout that game, and we were lucky to score three goals without having to be on our best form. So my point is basically that City haven't really been excellent as you think, and they have also had their own fair share of luck like Arsenal, prolly even more, thus i think Arsenal might actually be the best team thus far in the league, but it might not last too long.

The good thing about Arsenal is that they have some versatile players who can play in different positions for team. Too bad they have to be without some of their first team players, it is definitely a big blow for Arteta in the coming games. Arteta should work on fixing this issue by getting more signings in January to make the team better.

At the summer transfer market Antonio Conte wanted a top level striker that can compete with Kane and Son or can cover Kane when the England international is injured,so Tottenham went after lautaro Martinez at Inter Milan, because the Argentine international was a fighter and look like a player that can compete with Harry Kane but the deal didn't work because inter Milan didn't want to sell so Tottenham strike a deal with Everton for Richarlison at then I thought Richy play a high level football but he scored two goals on his champions League debut and has brought competition to the Tottenham squad even put fear in Son and has bench him in the team already.

Arsenal will not simply surrender and allow Manchester City to knock them off the top spot. I see them as two outstanding teams who will both give their all to win the title this season. Only a head-to-head between Manchester City and Arsenal can now tell us who will win the Premier League. Arsenal sorely needs it after a long time, but Manchester City is their usual award and cannot afford to let it slip through their fingers this season. Given their present record in the Premier League, Arsenal are not willing to cede the top spot to any team.

For sure what Manchester United will likely do is play a good match out of the Derby because as for Manchester City they are so bent of getting all three points and this will take place at Etihad stadium. From City's performance they are passionately pursuing both the EPL and the CL and in the premier league it might be harder for them to lose any point further seeing how close they are to reclaim the top spot of the PL

But the first option is very doubtful because from your words it follows that the game will definitely not end with a score of 0-0 or 1-1. In fact, in handicap bets, I'm used to betting on the favorite when the odds are too low - betting on the underdog seems too random to me. Why "invent" them if there is a good option double chance.

That is mainly because they built a team that is interchangeable. I do not think that they have a single player that would be make or break for them, if anyone misses, there is a replacement for that player that could make no difference at all if it's just one person. Of course if you bench the whole team and get another 11 then it would make a difference, but just one player doesn't matter in this system, it is a whole machine and one clog changing doesn't disturb it that much.

However, the overall talent is still lower than City if you ask me and that means they will be able to carry this only to a point, they will end up losing eventually.

I mean, being top of the league doesn't always make one better than the other; since the beginning of the season, Manchester has only dropped two points in a game they played well but were unlucky not to pick up the full points, and since then they have been riding every fixture with a big goal margin, whereas Arsenal's early fixtures were somehow better than the other top four teams' fixtures and they struggle in most of these games but were lucky enough to get result.  
 
Especially those players coming from South and  N. America who will be having a long flight.

What you say is quite reasonable, because Man United and Man City have different targets this season. Man United with a new coach, looks like
this season trying to get into the top 4 first. Therefore facing Man City who have better performance, of course, if Man United can draw against
Man City, it is already a satisfactory result for Man United. But it is very different from Man City, which from the beginning was ambitious to win
the Premier League trophy this season. So Man City will definitely try to win when facing Man United, especially now that Man City's position is
still below Arsenal. That's why Man City must be able to beat Man United, so they can catch up with Arsenal's points.

But that doesn't mean Man City will beat Man United easily, because Man United's performance has also started to improve in the last few games.
It is true that betting on the Man City vs Man United match does have a high risk, but since I am pretty sure Man City will beat Man United,
I will bet Man City will win the game. Hopefully my prediction is correct that Man City will beat Man United.

An interesting game, that's to be expected from these two teams in rising form. I expect open play from both teams, not just waiting for the opposing team to make mistakes. What I mean is that neither of them play it safe, because things like this often happen in big games like this. It's not that they don't have to be careful, but being careful sometimes makes the atmosphere of the game run monotonous. If you look at Arsenal's defeat against Manchester United, they are not so brave in piercing deeper into Manchester United's defense.


Yes, I agree that Manchester United will probably only aim for a draw in this Derby. That is enough to make them more confident to look at the match they will play next, considering the performance of Manchester City which is very impressive.
Meanwhile, in the Manchester City camp, we will try to get a win in this match to be more convinced that they are a team that is very ready to defend the title again.

Manchester City have had a taste of being top of the league this season. Even for few hours before Arsenal came right up again but, its unlikely that they would record a lose or draw any time soon. The focus for Manchester City might be the UCL but, they are always sure to make a mark on the EPL and they are very close to being top, just one point behind Arsenal and they aren't ready to widen that gap by loosing or drawing with Manchester United come next weekend.
It would be a Manchester City win for sure, Manchester United might just get to play a good game out of it.
