Manchester City 5/4 to beat Manchester United in Sunday’s Premier League showdown

Competition: Premier League

Market: Manchester City to beat Manchester United

Odds: 5/4 @ Bet365

The Premier League returns this weekend for another huge round of games. The last cluster of matches saw goals and intrigue, and this weeks contests will bring the same, with the world’s most competitive league simmering away nicely. With this in mind, there is a top of the table clash, with Manchester United hosting Manchester City.

Manchester United have been looking to chase down City all season as their rivalry has been taken to another level this season. In their last five matches, they have won four games in a row, with one defeat prior to that. Jose Mourinho’s men have been able to take 35 points from their 15 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding just nine times along the way. 11 wins, two draws and two defeats is a very good record, but it has still seen them trail their city rivals going into this must-win game.

Manchester City have been outstanding this season. After 15 games, they have won 14 times, drawing the other match. 46 goals scored and just 10 conceded is a superb return, while they have won their last five games in a row. 43 points means they are eight clear of United in second, and 15 points above fifth-placed Arsenal. This season has been a near perfect one for Pep Guardiola’s men, and a victory over Manchester United on Sunday would make the gap almost insurmountable, even at this early point in the season. With this in mind, we are backing Manchester City with odds of 5/4 from Bet365.
