To be honest i want Manchester United to win the derby for Chelsea to extend the point difference. I dont care about their reputation, if it is by reputation i will prefer Manchester City to win since they are the previous premier league champions their reputation matters a lot in Manchester.
Bookmakers is giving Manchester City as the most favorite to win. Well that's so true because they have more capability to win in that match that Manchester United. I wont forget how difficult it is for United to score a single goal in all competition this season.
Is obvious that manchester city is the favorite team to win this match, because manchester united have not been consistant with thier performance for some time now, more especially in premier league. though manchester city in the other side is not that good as well, but regardless to thier inconsistency. I think their performance is way more better than that of manchester united, and even when manchester united is form The bookmakers always predict the odd in the favour of manchester city because they knew that the possibility for manchester united to win manchester city is very slim.
If Manchester United manage to win Manchester City it would be a consecutive win this season but to be honest their chances are slim cause Manchester City are in a more better position and like you said Manchester United have not been very consistent this season, they couldn't even win Nottingham Forest so I wonder how they'll win City, moreover this match is very important to to City since they're battling to be in the top 4, Chelsea won their match so if they lose it would give Chelsea more advantage. Anyways I'm suprised that the bookmakers gave Manchester City 2 odds and United 3, this could be a draw match though I still have doubts about the draw cause this this current Manchester United's squad lacks good quality in the final 3rd and they've been having difficulties to score goals for a while now, compared to Manchester City with more better attackers and Midfielders.
