Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction

Manchester City have one of the best squads in Europe at their disposal and are the favorites to win the league title yet again this season. Erling Haaland, in particular, has been in emphatic form and has scored an astonishing 11 goals in his first seven Premier League appearances.

Manchester United have shown marked improvement under Erik ten Hag and have pulled off a fair share of surprises against Pep Guardiola's side in the recent past. Manchester City are well-settled as a team, however, and hold the upper hand going into this game.
