Man City vs Man United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

As the weekend rolls in, football fanatics are eagerly anticipating one of the Premier League's most anticipated fixtures: the clash between Manchester City and Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday. Two weeks ago, Manchester City's title defence seemed to be faltering after a 1-1 stalemate with Chelsea. However, they've since regained their stride, securing two hard-won 1-0 victories against Brentford and Bournemouth in turn.

City are the firm favourites going into this match at 1/4 with CopyBet while United are 9/1 to surprise the Etihad crowd and a draw is 5/1. United have lost their last two league visits to the Etihad Stadium shipping in 10 goals in the process while City have picked up four wins in their last five Manchester derbies.

Pep Guardiola's squad has not only regained momentum but also made a resounding statement in the FA Cup. Erling Haaland led a spectacular offensive onslaught, netting five goals in a 6-2 thrashing of Luton earlier this week, ensuring City's place in the quarter-finals. City supporters will be fervently hoping that their team can echo this form when their fiercest rivals, Manchester United, visit this weekend.

Just as it looked like United had found their rhythm, a harsh reality check came in the form of a 2-1 defeat at home against Fulham last Saturday. This ended their four-match winning streak abruptly. However, under Erik ten Hag's guidance, United quickly rebounded from this setback. They demonstrated resilience by clinching a 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup on Wednesday evening.
