Manchester United vs Manchester City Team News

Struggling earlier in the season, Manchester United were put through the wringer but have managed to come out unscathed. As things stand, they are joint-top with Liverpool in the Premier League, having garnered 33 points from 16 matches.

While the Red Devils aren’t exactly winning games with ease, they still manage to bag the all-important three points in the end, and this is what make champions! Last time out, they were made to bend over backwards to see off high-flying West Ham.

Goals from Martial and Bruno Fernandes helped United to a narrow 2-1 victory over the Hammers to move further clear of the chasing pack behind them. With the club seeking their first silverware under Solskjaer, the EFL Cup presents a golden opportunity.

Already down to the last-four, victory over bitter rivals Man City in this semifinal clash will book United a ticket to Wembley to take on either Tottenham or Brentford. A first trophy win for Ole’s men could open up the floodgates for much more success in the not-so-distant future.

In the quarterfinals of this competition, the Red Devils were up against Everton, requiring a late Cavani strike to send Ancelotti’s men sinking. Meanwhile, Man City had struggling Arsenal in their way in the previous phase, defeating the Gunners with ease.

Running riot on the night, the likes of Jesus, Mahrez, Foden and Laporte got on the scoresheet as City recorded an emphatic 4-1 win over Arsenal. Now competing in the EFL Cup semifinals for the fourth season running, the Citizens will have their eyes on the prize once again.

You bet they will be buzzing ahead of this fixture, thanks to their morale-boosting 3-1 thumping of Chelsea on the last matchday. With another difficult game on the horizon, Man City will be hoping to replicate their recent fantastic performances to give United a hiding.

Man United vs Man City Predictions

This is a very difficult one to call. Both teams are in splendid form heading here, and brimming with confidence. Facing off just last month in the PL, United and City played out a drab goalless draw but we will be expecting a couple of goals in this one.

In truth, we cannot call a clear winner as this game could go either way but we expect to see goals down both ends of the pitch.
