Match Preview

Manchester City (WWWDW)

Manchester City will head into the Manchester derby in excellent form. The defending champs are unbeaten in their last nine league matches, recording eight wins and one draw. City are in desperate need of three points to keep their title hope alive, as they are currently in second place, a point behind leaders Liverpool and just a point ahead of Arsenal. 

Manchester City's last Premier League game saw the Cityzens overcome Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium, with Foden scoring the all-important goal to secure three valuable points. Manchester City have also qualified for the FA Cup quarterfinals for the sixth year in a row after a 6-2 fifth-round win against Luton at Kenilworth Road.

Manchester United (WLWWW)

Manchester United will come into this match after suffering a 2-1 home defeat in their last Premier League match. The defeat at Old Trafford ruined their four-match winning streak in the league, and as a result, the Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League with 44 points, 15 behind second-placed City. Erik Ten Hag's side is in desperate need of a point to keep their top-four hope alive.
