Manchester City vs Manchester United Premier League Prediction Match Details
This weekend, the Premier League blockbuster will two rivalries Manchester City host Manchester United on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium. Can Ruben Amorim’s men capitalize on City’s recent woeful run of form to secure their first win since 2021?
Manchester City Preview & Form
Manchester City will enter their derby against their rivals on the back of the most disappointing worst run of Pep’s managerial career. The Citizens have registered only one win from their last ten games across all competitions and have suffered seven defeats during the run, with the defeat including Ruben Amorim’s final European game in charge of Sporting. The defending champions looked to have started building momentum in the league after beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium, only to play a 2-2 draw against Crystal at the weekend. They then followed their two-match unbeaten run with a 2-0 defeat in their Champions League midweek game against Juventus, leaving pressure to keep rising on Pep Guardiola. Currently, Pep Guardiola’s team has slipped down to fourth in the Premier League and 22nd in the Champions League.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Ruben Amorim will be hoping to avoid his third straight league defeat as Manchester United manager following back-to-back defeats in their last two Premier League games against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. Amorim has guided Manchester United to six matches across all competitions and has won three of the games so far. The Red Devils will now aim to build on their much-needed 2-1 victory over Plzen in the Europa League to face vulnerable Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Following the last league defeat at Old Trafford, United are now languishing 13th in the league table with 19 points in 15 matches. They have won five games, drawn four, and lost six games. The Red Devil fans will be hoping their new manager, Ruben Amorim, can replicate his 4-1 victory performance during his tenure as Sporting Lisbon’s manager in the Champions League this season.
