Manchester City, the Premier League's giant, won the "treble" last season with an unbeatable attitude. Now, as the defending champions, they continue to show unrivalled dominance in the league, and although they are temporarily second in the Premier League, they are only four points away from leaders Liverpool. In order to protect their honor and narrow the gap with the top of the table, Manchester City will go all out in this game and show a strong desire to win. Manchester City are not only known for their incisive attack, averaging more than two goals per game, but also for their solid defence to be among the top three in the Premier League. Their attacking firepower and defensive resilience make them a strong team on the field. In the last game, Manchester City beat Luton Town in the FA Cup, winning three in a row, and are unbeaten in the last 18 games with 16 wins and two draws, showing an amazing competitive form.
Manchester United, the Premier League's traditional giants, have been mired in fluctuations in results in recent years. This season, their performances have not been ideal, and the first half of the season has been even more unremarkable. However, their form has picked up recently and they currently sit sixth in the league and are in contention for Champions League qualification. However, the teams behind them are in hot pursuit, with only a two-point advantage, and the slightest mistake can be overtaken, so their fighting spirit is just as strong. Manchester United are averaging 1With 38 goals, the defensive performance was not bad, but the weakness on the offensive end became a stumbling block to their performance. In the FA Cup, they got back on winning ways with a narrow away win over Nottingham Forest, and their morale was boosted. However, the all-time head-to-head record has not been kind to them, and they have only achieved a dismal record of 1 win and 5 defeats in the last 6 regular matches against Manchester City, and they are completely inferior in the past meetings.
Manchester City have completely crushed Manchester United in terms of recent performance and historical records, and Manchester United has recently suffered serious injuries to players in the team, which is very bad for the team. However, Manchester City has a Champions League game on the 7th of this month, and I don't know if Guardiola will make arrangements for this game.
Personal opinion, but considering the Champions League behind, there will be no big score, and Manchester City won the game by a small victory. **Score 2-1 or 1-0 (score for entertainment and reference only).
