The Manchester derby is of huge importance to both sides for reasons that go beyond local bragging rights. Manchester United only have a push for a European place to play for this season and interim boss Michael Carrick will be determined to secure continental football next season. Manchester City continue to compete on four fronts and need the win to stay in touch with leaders Arsenal. We have compiled a great 10/1 bet builder ahead of the occasion.

Let’s look at each leg of the bet builder in detail.
Man City -1 Asian Handicap
City had looked as though they were going to close the gap on Arsenal, only to draw three league matches in succession. They have got back to winning ways in the cup competitions with a thumping 10-1 win over Exeter City in the FA Cup and a 2-0 victory away at holders Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semifinal first leg.
Manchester United have struggled for consistency all season and have been depleted by injuries and the loss of players to the AFCON. Their FA Cup defeat to Brighton means that they only have the Premier League to focus on. Michael Carrick, who begins his stint as interim manager against City, will hope to steady the ship and make a push for Europe. However, we think that the visitors will have too much for the Red Devils. Kickform predicts an away win, giving City a 58% chance of victory.
This is very much in line with our thinking, and we think that they will win by at least two goals, meaning that adding a handicap is a great way to get better value.
BTTS: Yes
Man United are still managing to score goals however, they are shipping a lot too. Summer signing Benjamin Sesko is starting to find his shooting boots, which will give City’s injury hit backline something to think about.
Man City are the division’s top scorers. They seem to have got going in front of goal again in the cup competitions, after a couple of low-scoring league matches. We think that they will notch a few goals on Saturday given Man United’s recent defensive issues.
Both teams have scored in 70% of Man United’s matches. At Old Trafford, the figure is 60% while both teams have found the net in 50% of City’s away games. Kickform give a 60% chance of both teams scoring and a 63% chance of over 2.5 goals. We are confident of goals at both ends.
Erling Haaland 2+ Goals
Erling Haaland leads the race to be the Premier League's top scorer. He has 20 goals in 21 Premier League appearances this season, but only one in his last four. He also failed to get on the scoresheet in the two cup matches against Exeter and Newcastle. We feel that he is due a goal and, given the brittle nature of Man United’s recent defending, we think that not only will he be on the sheet on Saturday, but that he’ll score two or more. Antoine Semenyo has made a great start to his City career with two goals and an assist in his first two appearances. Expect him to provide Haaland with plenty of opportunities.
