I think Man Utd will beat Man City 3-0 given the loss of form that Man City have had.

Well right now going on the form guide you would be silly to back Man City.

BUT I think it will be a draw.

If we beat City I might forgive the board for lumping us with Moyes last year.

I think City will get a result to be honest, despite their wretched away form recently and overall stuttering season. They have a hold over United and even in 2013, when United were romping away with the title, City won at Old Trafford.

However, its almost the same team as back then, whereas United have grown over the last few weeks.

Definitely could be the defining point in whether Pellegrini stays at the season. Depending on the result.

I reckon United will defeat Man City this time. They've got home advantage and form on their side, if Man City are not careful they might have to travel to the champions of Czech Republic or Austria in late August.

Draw. As much as I'd love an emphatic win they do always tend to turn up for this game these days. That said we should end our losing streak against them & a point would probably favour us overall given we would remain ahead of them.

The last win at home against Man City was in Feb 2011, I think it might finally happen - should be a good game hopefully.

Utd have better form obviously but it's really only four games or so that they've resemble a tactically solid team. I think it's safe to bet that both will score but after that who knows. 2-1 Utd?
