MANCHESTER CITY vs MANCHESTER UTD BETTING PREVIEW
Manchester City beat 3-1 Everton at Goodison Park in Saturday's late kick-off and they can be crowned champions as early as Gameweek 33, having a 16 point commanding lead over United in the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola's men sufferd a chastening defeat in Champions League against Liverpool at Anfield Road in midweek and Tuesday's return match could be a potential distraction. Their home form is impossible to ignore, having won 14 in a row in front of their own fans in Premier League. The Citizens run out 2-1 winners at Old Trafford in December’s reverse fixture, while they shared a 0-0 draw when they met on this ground last season.
Sergio Aguero will push for a return after missing City's last four matches with a knee injury but Gabriel Jesus is expected to lead the line once again. Raheem Sterling and one between Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sanè will flank the Brazilian upfront. In midfield, Ilkay Gundogan offers an alternative to David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne while Fernandinho should retain his berth. Fabian Delph could be handed a start at left-back, with Kyle Walker as right back. John Stones is an option to start in central defence should Pep Guardiola look to rotate and rest Vincent Kompany ahead of the Liverpool encounter. Benjamin Mendy is the only long-term absentee.
Manchester UTD will be looking to avenge the 2-1 defeat against City at Old Trafford back in December and further consolidate second place in the Premier League. The Red Devils beat Swansea last time out to make it four wins on the bounce and eight victories in their last 10 in the Premier League, but they have lost two of their last three games away from home. United have failed to score in three of their four away league matches against their top-six rivals this season. This will be a clash between the best defences in the Premier League this season, with United conceding 23 goals and City just 21 in 31 games so far.
Jose Mourinho may consider switching from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 4-3-3, allowing Ander Herrera to start in midfield alongside Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, with Scott McTominay and Marouane Fellaini the other alternatives in the middle of the park. Up front, Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard should partner Romelu Lukaku, while Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial look set to be named among the substitutes once more. At the back, Phil Jones could return in central defence, with Chris Smalling’s start at risk. Eric Bailly, ANtonio Valencia and Ashley Young should all continue to feature from the off. Sergio Romero and Daley Blind are Manchester United's only injury concerns.
