Man City vs Manchester United prediction
It’s often said that the form book goes out of the window for a derby game. That was evident in last season’s FA Cup final as United surprised many by leaving Wembley with the trophy.
The issue is that neither side is in particularly great form at the moment, but Amorim’s win over Guardiola earlier in the campaign could be key as United have the players to hit City where it hurts.
Manchester United to win, 2-1.
