Man City vs Man United: Manchester City have won 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions. The Cityzens have won five of the last six derbies against Manchester United, including this season’s 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Erling Haaland scored five goals in a 6-2 FA Cup fifth-round win over Luton Town on Tuesday.
The 192nd city derby at Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon pits fierce Manchester rivals against one another in the Premier League. The defending champions are favourites. Will they justify the tag and win in front of their fans?

Manchester City could not have announced the city derby better than a 6-2 FA Cup fifth-round win against Luton Town. On Tuesday, Premier League leading scorer Erling Haaland shone. The Norwegian striker scored five times at Kenilworth Road, disproving the naysayers again.
Manchester United also won midweek, although less so. Casemiro’s late goal beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Wednesday. Erik ten Hag’s team recovered from a disheartening 1-2 home loss to Fulham last weekend in the league.
Man City vs Man United: Betting Analysis
Manchester City have dominated recent H2H matchups with their arch-rival. The Cityzens have won five of six versus the Red Devils. Man City won 3-0 at Old Trafford in October last year. The last five Manchester derbies have had three or more goals.
Manchester United lost 1-2 to Fulham at home last Saturday, ending their five-win streak. It was a disappointing Red Devils performance. Without injured in-form forward, Rasmus Hojlund, Erik ten Hag’s team struggled in the final third. They also struggled offensively against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup midweek.
In contrast, Manchester City have 14 victories and one draw in their last 15 matches across competitions. Pep Guardiola’s team has won five of six matches against Manchester United. Finally, at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, Man City looked strong. Our main pick at 1.70 odds is for the hosts to win by two or more goals.

Erling Haaland always wants to win against Manchester United. After scoring five goals against Luton Town, the Norwegian forward will play in this game. In last weekend’s home loss to Fulham, Manchester United’s backline showed holes. We like the 1.61 odds for Haaland to score anytime.
