Man United vs Man City Prediction
- Manchester United saw a four-game unbeaten run end in midweek as they fell to a 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest. However, they come into Sunday's Manchester Derby having won three of their last five at Old Trafford.
- Manchester City barely had to break a sweat to beat Leicester on Wednesday night but make the short trip to Old Trafford having lost four of their last seven away matches.
- City have won three of their last four trips to United and have kept a clean sheet in six of the last eight games at their rivals.
- United claimed a late 2-1 win in the reverse fixture. Sunday may see City claim all the spoils by the same scoreline.

Man United vs Man City Team News
- Manchester United's injury issues have eased of late, with Leny Yoro, Altay Bayindir and Harry Maguire all making the matchday squad in midweek.
- Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim remains without Ayden Heaven, Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad for the Manchester Derby.
- Amorim may make minimal changes to his XI for Sunday's clash given the extra day's rest between matches.
- Nico O'Reilly started the 2-0 win over Leicester on Wednesday and the youngster may keep his spot in the side at left-back.
- Oscar Bobb also made his first appearance of the season in midweek, and his return means only Rodri, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Nathan Ake and Erling Haaland are missing.
- Kevin De Bruyne confirmed on Friday that he'll be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Man United vs Man City Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder Tips for Man United vs Man City features Fernandes Over 0.5 Shots on Target, Ugarte Over 2.5 Fouls & Over 2.5 Goals.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 11/2 with bet365.
- United’s captain averages 0.9 shots on target per game this season and has been a key figure in big matches. He scored a penalty in their 2-1 win over City earlier this season and is likely to test the keeper again, especially with City’s backline depleted. Fernandes thrives in high-stakes games like this.
- The Uruguayan midfielder has been averaging 2.1 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season. In a heated derby against a possession-dominant City side, Ugarte’s aggressive style makes him a prime candidate to rack up fouls as he tries to disrupt their midfield play.
- Eight of the last nine meetings between these two sides have seen over 2.5 goals, including the 2-1 United win in December. City’s attacking output remains strong despite injuries, and United’s home games average 1.40 goals scored and 1.67 conceded.
