Man City v Man United Team News

Having failed to register back tyo back premier league wins since the start of November, the defending champions find themselves sitting eleven points behind runaway leaders Liverpool and placed third in the table, two points behind Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola side eased through past Burnley in their mid-week fixture, making it two wins out of six across all competitions. City have a tough of fixtures ahead of them before the Christmas period, and the quality and depth of the squad will be tested when they are set to come up against United, Arsenal and Leicester with the foxes currently sitting ahead of them in the table.

This fixture will be a challenging test for the sky blue outfit as December proves to be the most difficult stage of the season due to the number of fixtures and they will fancy their chances come Saturday.

Manchester United will look to build on their momentum when they travel to the Etihad after their huge win against their former coach Jose Mourinho's Tottenham on Wednesday night fixture, thanks to a Marcus Rashford’s brace.

The Red Devil’s have registered a mixture of results recently and they enter this fixture in search of their first back-to-back Premier League wins since March. At the pre-match press conference, Ole acknowledged that Man City are a better team compared to when he used to play, and they have to be on their best form to overcome Pep Guardiola charges if they are to qualify for European football.

Their away form has been poor, registering only one win in their last 11 league outings and losing in six of them. Such poor form and failure to keep clean sheets is still a concern for the manager, and a win would be a major step towards achieving some consistency.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Aguero S. (Muscle), Laporte A. (knee), Sane L. (Knee) and Zinchenko O. (Knee) will miss this fixture for man City while for the Reds, Bailly E. (Knee), Dalot D. (Groin), Fosu-Mensah (Knee), Martial (Muscle), Rojo (Muscle), Matic (groin) and Pogba ( Ankle) will not play.

Man City vs Man United Predictions

Manchester City look as the favorite winners entering into this fixture, and despite United’s mid-week confidence boost, they will find it difficult to scalp a win at the Etihad against a City team that is averaging at least two goals at home this season.
