This Sunday we have to watch the Mancunian derby. Last week was not very good for Manchester United. First there was a nondescript game in Madrid with Athletic, and then a home game with Watford, one of the weakest teams. This draw served as such a trigger for the club's management, which has already begun to think about how to remove Rangnik. Getting into the top four of the Premier League is already in question, and the club needs the Champions League. The “Arsenal” and “Tottenham” the situation on lost points is already better.

There is hardly anything new to say about Manchester City. The team plays the same style all season with the same statistics and the same results. As a rule, the team does not experience any particular problems, and gets results in the classroom.

“Liverpool” is gradually catching up with “City”, and in case of victory in a head-to-head match, it will even overtake. You can't lose points. The remaining matches must be taken seriously. So setting up shouldn't be a problem.

One would assume that “MJ” may be worthy of some kind of feat. Manchester United have won their last three away matches. But that team was more cheerful under Solskjaer. The players' eyes burned. Even when they were inferior to teams above the level, they managed to jump over their heads.

Now this is not visible, and much depends on the individual, and not on the team as a whole. When a team depends on individual bursts of Pogba, Bruno, Ronaldo, then one can hardly expect anything good. I think that this time there will be no surprises and City will prevail.

As for the rates, I looked at two options. The first is the victory of Man City with a total of less than 4.5 goals. I don't think there will be a hail of heads here.

The second option is City's victory on corners in the first half with a handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 1.70. With a high degree of probability, Manchester City will own the initiative and in the first half will try to resolve all issues. Manchester City win 99% of the time on corners in the first half.
