Man United vs Man City Tips

Tip 1

I’m a firm believer in fairytale endings and for KDB to provide some quantifiable spark in United’s backyard during his final Manchester derby is about as fitting of a sendoff as the Belgian could wish for.

You don’t need stats from me to support the brilliance of someone like Kevin De Bruyne, but even during another season hampered by injury, the 33 year old has provided a touch of class when physically able to.

He’s scored four goals this season and made a total of 11 goal contributions in 31 appearances across all competitions, with two goals and five of those assists coming inside this calendar year.

De Bruyne also has six goals and assists in his last five fixtures with City’s noisy neighbours and therefore an 11/10 price is worth taking a punt when the magician is involved.

Tip 2

They say form goes out of the window in a game like this, but something tells me that Bruno Fernandes will be more fired up than ever to prove the doubters wrong.

After scooping up March’s Player of the Month award, the Portuguese has proven yet again that he’s a more capable operator than just about any other individual in this struggling Manchester United team.

Seven goals in his last seven matches have carried him to picking up that prize – putting him on a tally of 16 goals and 16 assists across all comps for the current season.

Having netted two goals in his last four derbies, 29/10 for a man in good form to find the net at home is absolutely worth some of your money.

Man United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Red Devils had a seven-game unbeaten streak broken by Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, as the visitors were unable to breach the Tricky Trees’ stubborn defence, with question marks over their attack surfacing once again.

Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans are all still in the treatment room, who could be joined by Matthijs de Ligt after he suffered an issue against Forest.

Man United Predicted XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund.

Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

City were unfazed by the visit of Leicester City on Wednesday, with goals from Jack Grealish and Omar Marmoush securing a 2-0 win for the reigning champions ahead of the Manchester derby.

Kevin De Bruyne is fit and raring to go for his final Manchester derby, although he won’t have Erling Haaland to supply, who is one of five absentees for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Man City Predicted XI: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gundogan, Gonzalez; Savinho, Grealish, Doku; Marmoush
