The Manchester Derby is a very tough one and there's always pressure from both ends, it's not about who has the best squad cause there are times when City had more better players but lost severally to Manchester United infact City is not in a good form recently and if they can't recover after the international break is over then Manchester United could take advantage of their situation.

 Well both parties participated well in the transfer window and got major of their targets, Manchester United too still signed about 70% of their targets and failed to sign only a holding midfielder, that doesn't make them weak though, although the bookies would likely favour Manchester City more to win.
Well, I can’t vouch for either one of the Manchester clubs because City have not shown that they are a better team than they were last season and United are still finding the balance. So for me I think it is a 50:50 game in the derby, either sides could win. This game could also be the turning point for City when the league resumes you just can’t tell.
Manchester City only performed poorly last season and after that they did not change their team much so this season they might continue their performance like last season. Manchester United have been performing poorly for the past few seasons and they have tried to strengthen their team at the end of each season but despite spending money their team performance has not really improved. This season we have seen them bring in several players to their club although we have not seen good performance from these new players so far but it is expected that they can contribute well to the club's victory. If Manchester United can stay between 1 and 5 in the point table then it will be a very happy thing for the fans because they are currently at the bottom of the point table.
