Why We’re Backing Antoine Semenyo to Score Anytime @ 9/4 with Bet365
- The recruit from Bournemouth has made an incredible start to his City career.
- Semenyo has scored in both of his first two games for City.
- Semenyo scored in his final match for Bournemouth and is oozing confidence.
- In the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, Semenyo had a goal controversially ruled out by VAR.
- The £64m signing appears to have the full backing of Pep Guardiola and could get 90 minutes at Old Trafford.
- Harry Maguire will probably be deployed to mark Erling Haaland, creating space for Semenyo to run into and shoot at goal himself.
- Semenyo scored 30 goals in 101 appearances for Bournemouth, so he should wreak havoc in a much stronger side.

Why We’re Backing Man City to Win 3-2 @ 20/1 with Bet365
- Manchester City arrive at Old Trafford with attacking momentum and depth that few sides can live with for 90 minutes.
- Erling Haaland has an excellent record against United and thrives in open, high-tempo derby games.
- United’s defence has struggled when pulled wide, which suits City’s use of overlapping full-backs and rotating wingers.
- Phil Foden’s ability to drift between the lines could be key, especially if United sit deep and try to counter.
- United remain dangerous on the break through Matheus Cunha and Bruno Fernandes, which explains why goals at both ends look likely.
- City’s pressing and ball retention should eventually wear United down, creating late chances even if the game stays tight.
- With superior bench options and game management, Pep Guardiola’s side look well placed to edge a high-scoring 3-2 derby win.
