Manchester United vs Manchester City preview
Both Manchester clubs come here off the back of 2-1 Premier League wins last weekend – and Champions League wins in midweek.
United were slightly fortunate with Andre Onana saving a last-kick penalty against Copenhagen in midweek, to really keep their European dreams alive.
Diogo Dalot struck a winner at Sheffield United a few days earlier with less than 15 minutes to play, with their winning streak now at three games.
City saw off Brighton last week and came from behind to beat Young Boys in Switzerland in midweek.
Pep’s men go into the weekend in second spot but could find themselves further behind in Spurs win their Friday night fixture.
They’re now six games without a clean sheet which must also be playing on Guardiola’s mind and it doesn’t look like changing here.

Manchester United vs Manchester City betting tips
As mentioned, City are struggling to keep the ball out their own net at present.
But that’s negated somewhat by the ease in which they’re scoring themselves.
The home side has won the last four meetings between the sides and it’s seven games without a draw.
Both teams have scored in the last four derbies and we see the same here.

Alvarez’s impact this season has been immense and he’s amongst the first names on the team sheet at present.
Although his four goals have been the cornerstone to his success, he’s also got three assists in the league this term.
With Haaland ahead of him, there’s always the chance an assist is on the cards.

Talking of names on a team sheet, Rodri’s name is most definitely first there.
He’s the main man in the middle of the park and can prove why again here.
Has chipped in with some vitally important goals as well as his impressive defensive capabilities.
He’ll have a big impact one way or another, so we’ll take him to be involved in either aspect.
