A very interesting encounter will happen on the upcoming Thursday, the Mancunian derby, to be precise, where Manchester City will be the host. Bookmakers see the Eagles, as clear favorites in this couple, but one can argue with such position of the “all-knowing”. As Man Utd have got some great pace lately and the team has been playing at a high level during the season and has steadily gained points.
Under Guardiola Manchester City have been eliminated from another tournament, this time the Eagles have lost to Arsenal in the English Cup semifinal with a score of 1:2 in an additional time. As for the EPL, the team has bigger risks not to get into top-four, i.e, to be left without the Champions League for the next season. Manchester City currently have 64 points and are four points ahead of Manchester United, but the Devils have played one game less.
Man Utd, in their turn, have already won the League Cup, Mourinho’s team is also close to triumph in the Europa League, but Man Utd are still trying to get into top-four, because to win the eurocup, the team has to advance through semifinals, and, probably, finals. Whereas it is important to note, that this season Manchester United play great away, and the future guests have got ten away victories within 15 matches.
Manchester United have decent chances on gaining points on the upcoming Thursday, when another derby with Manchester City will be played. Man Utd play very powerfully away, while Manchester City currently experiencing problems with performance and results, which is also reflected in the tournament table.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United not to lose.
