Following a routine win in midweek, Manchester City will hope to widen the gap between them and their city rivals when they lock horns this weekend. The champions-elect will head into this match off the back of a 21-game winning streak in all competitions.

Manchester United, on the other hand, seem to have hit a snag in recent weeks. They were held to another draw when they travelled to Palace in midweek. Consequently, this somewhat rough patch of United further strengthened City's grip on the league title.

Pep Guardiola's side seem destined for title triumph this term. And it goes without saying that they have been relentlessly outstanding this season, striking a balance between their attacking threat and impressive piece of watertight defending.

So far, so good for the Sky Blues who sit at the top of the league standings, having amassed an incredible total of 65 points from 27 league matches this campaign. This side have picked up an amazing 20 wins so far, winning each of their last 15 matches in the Premier League.

In their last outing, Manchester City sent Wolves sinking at Etihad Stadium after a 4-1 victory. The hosts took the lead following a Dendoncker own goal, but their visitors found an equalizer courtesy of a Conor Coady goal. After a spate of relentless pressure from City, they scored three goals in the final ten minutes to claim victory.

Manchester United's last fixture saw them leave Selhurst Park with a share of the spoils after a drab stalemate against Crystal Palace. Despite their clear dominance on the ball, United were unable to create clear-cut goalscoring oppprtunies. In fact, they could only muster a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of football, as the match ended in a goalless draw.

This draw was their second consecutive goalless stalemate in the space of four days, following their affair with Chelsea last Sunday. Consequently, these fruitless performances have seen the Red Devils drop four points in two straight games, stretching the gap between them and the top to 14 points.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be left scrambling for answers to questions being asked of his side lately, how their usual dangerous threat in front of goal needs to be sustained, as opposed to their recent showings away at the capital.

As opposed to the usual intensity of the Manchester derby, tbe reverse fixture was rather an uneventful and tame affair between both sides. The match ended in a goalless draw, but a repeat of this scoreline seems unlikely as the league leaders are in a much better place than they were in, last December.

Man City vs Manchester United Predictions

Manchester City boast the best defensive record, and the best attacking record - bypassing United's goal tally in midweek. And the hosts will aim to clinch their 16th successive league victory in this fixture.

That said, the Citizens will be made to bend over backwards to see off this pretty strong Man United side, who are pushing for a top-two finish. Give the Red Devils are known to play out low-scoring games against top-sides, there shouldn’t be any more than two goals here.
