With the Premier League title race continuing to look tense, Sunday’s Manchester derby is a massive one for the defending champions.

Manchester Derby Ultimate Bet Builder
Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals
Haaland produced one of his most impressive performances in English football in midweek, scoring five goals as City thumped Luton 6-2 in the FA Cup. He’s been lethal throughout his 18 months in Manchester and that includes derby clashes, having scored twice in the 3-0 win at Old Trafford earlier this season.
Haaland also scored a hat-trick when these two met at the Etihad last season. Days after his five-goal haul, back him for a couple of goals against United.
Kevin De Bruyne 1+ assists
De Bruyne’s return to fitness has been a huge boost for City, with the Belgian setting up 10 goals across his first 10 games back. He also ran riot against Luton, teeing up four goals in that big win.
De Bruyne has impressed against United of late, producing two goals and six assists across the last four meetings between these two sides. United’s midfield issues should leave plenty of space for De Bruyne, so back him to continue his fine run of form.
Kobbie Mainoo to be carded
Mainoo has been a standout in a poor season for United, but he’s struggling in a midfield which lacks organisation. The Red Devils leave too much space in the middle of the park, which leaves a young player like Mainoo exposed. Because of that, he’s frequently finding himself in card trouble.
Mainoo has been booked in three of his 12 games for United in the league this term, with each of those bookings coming in away games. He’s been booked in two of his last three away trips, so back him for a card in the toughest test of the season for the holding midfielder.
Alejandro Garnacho 1+ shots on target
Garnacho is another bright spot for United, he looks like he could become a key part of the Red Devils’ future. While he’s not likely to turn this tie around, he should prove to be a threat to City.
Garnacho has had at least one shot on target in four of his last five games and he’s playing a key role in their attack. Priced at 11/10 for a shot on target here, back the Argentine to trouble Ederson.
Over 6.5 City corners
Manchester City average 7.69 corners per Premier League game, which rises to just shy of eight in their home games. This United side doesn’t do much to restrict the opposition’s set-piece opportunities, conceding 6.7 corners per league game, jumping to 7.3 in their matches away from Old Trafford.
City are likely to dominate possession and that should lead to City getting at least seven corners in this clash.
