Betting Tips
On Sunday afternoon, as title-chasing Manchester City takes on longtime rivals and top-four outsiders Manchester United in the Premier League, fans will swarm the Etihad for a tantalizing Manchester derby. Both sides go to the FA Cup quarterfinals after their respective victories over Nottingham Forest and Luton Town, whom the Citizens crushed 6-2 and the Red Devils narrowly defeated 1-0.
Manchester City vs Manchester United
Manchester City enters this match on an 18-game winning streak. They have also won the FIFA Club World Cup and advanced to the FA Cup Quarterfinals, where they will play Newcastle at the Etihad, thanks to a 6-2 victory over Luton in midweek. Of those five goals, Erling Haaland scored four, thanks to assists from Kevin De Bruyne.
This statistic highlights the importance of the two players to this incredibly skilled squad. On the other hand, despite only managing three goals in their last three Premier League games, City has still managed to pick up seven points from those games. After 26 games, City is still in second place in the standings, one point behind Liverpool. They have won nine and drawn four of their 13 home games this season.
With 44 points from 26 games, Manchester United is now eight points outside of the top four in the Premier League standings. Last Saturday, at Old Trafford, Fulham’s injury-time goal put a stop to their recent run of four victories, as they defeated them 2-1. Following that setback, United’s home and away records are nearly identical, with 7 wins, 1 tie, and 5 losses.
Erik Ten Hag’s club has won its previous three away games against Wolves, Aston Villa, and Luton Town, which is a plus. They will also be aware that they prevailed 2-1 in the previous season’s matchup, courtesy of late goals from Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.

Verdict
The 15 points that separate these two teams probably don’t do justice to the class difference between these two rivals; given their recent form, City will probably widen that by the time the dust settles.
Of their last 14 victories, 10 have come with a margin of victory of at least two goals; the hosts have won by two or more in 11 of their 18 league victories this season, and United have lost by a margin of at least two goals in 60% of their losses. The Citizens have scored 18 goals in the last six meetings between these two, and they have won three of the last four league encounters by a margin of three goals.
