Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction & Pick
Talk about a great matchup. Two of the best teams in the Premier League meet head-to-head at Old Trafford this weekend. A win on Saturday would give either side a chance to keep up with Arsenal atop the table and I'm going to back the away side. Manchester City has ruled this rivalry as of late.
Manchester City is 4-0-1 (W-D-L) in its last five matches against Manchester United and all four of those victories came by at least 2 goals. Superstar Erling Haaland has brought an undeniable energy to City during this campaign and has developed into the perfect attacking partner for Julian Alvarez.
