Prediction: 1-2
Man City
Sparkles will be flying when Manchester United and Manchester City lock horns at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby. The Red Devils aim to build on back-to-back wins over Brentford and Sheffield United and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Pep Guardiola’s troops. Jadon Sancho is banned for the match, while all Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Luke Shaw remain in the recovery room. Former Real Madrid Casemiro should recover in time to face the Citizens.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, with the team beating Brighton 2-1 on Rodri’s return from suspension. With the Spanish midfielder in the starting XI Man City seem to be more creative and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on the title holders. Towering defender Manuel Akanji is banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Marcus Rashford):
Marcus Rashford is one of the most talented English footballers. Rashford was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on October 31, 1997 and he began his youth career at Fletcher Moss Rangers. Manchester United scouts spotted him in 2005 when he joined the famous Premier League club.
The pacey footballer, who is capable of playing as both winger and striker, marked his Manchester United first-team debut with two goals in a 5-1 crushing of Midtjylland in the Europa League.
Marcus Rashford scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the Red Devils in the 2017/2018 Premier League season. Speaking of his international debut, the Manchester United attacker played his first match for England against Australia on May 27, 2016 and he did well to find the net in a 2-1 win over the Socceroos.

Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
