Old Trafford hosts a fascinating derby today between Manchester United and Manchester City.
Erik ten Hag has overseen eight consecutive victories, and just one defeat in 18, while City, while still sitting second in the league, continue to toil through games, culminating in a lifeless Carabao Cup elimination.
Pep Guardiola says the champions "know exactly what we have to do to play better" but there are currently few places tougher than the Theatre of Dreams, especially with the expected hostile atmosphere.

Manchester United vs Man City prediction
Manchester United are looking for their ninth victory on the bounce, while Manchester City are recovering from what some have described as their worst performance under Pep Guardiola as Southampton knocked them out of the Carabao Cup.
So the momentum is with the hosts but I expect the visitors to step up and provide a reaction to their midweek loss. Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne will return, as mentioned above, and can prove the difference in any game.
Honours even at Old Trafford, 2-2 draw.
