The Premier League returns this weekend with a full slate of fixtures as we prepare to enter the month of March. There’s a lot of excitement and tension in the air at both ends of the table and with so much on the line, there are plenty of reasons to feel hyped about what’s ahead. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Manchester City and Manchester United.
Manchester City Form GuideManchester City are once again considered to be the clear favourites to win the Premier League title, and it’s not hard to see why. Pep Guardiola has built an absolute juggernaut of a squad and as we look ahead to the future, you’d have to imagine that the only big question mark is surrounding the punishment they could receive for their financial charges off the pitch.
Bournemouth’s form may not be great at the moment, but they still looked more than capable in a really entertaining encounter with Manchester City. Alas, the reigning champions proved why they’re one of the best teams in world football, edging out a nice 1-0 win.
Manchester United Form GuideManchester United supporters have spent the last decade experiencing brief moments of joy, but for the most part, their inconsistency has really hurt them on the pitch. Erik ten Hag is the latest manager to try and make a difference at Old Trafford, but there are still far more questions than answers for the Red Devils as we approach a critical few months for them.
United played host to Fulham at Old Trafford last weekend and, to put it bluntly, it didn’t go well. After a really nice run of form, they slipped back into their old ways, conceding late on to ensure that the Cottagers left with a surprising 2-1 victory.
Match PredictionAnother Manchester derby is upon us and we’re excited to see how both teams approach the game. United are the weaker of the two and that feels obvious but if they really dig in, they could get a result. Alas, that’s not what we’re expecting to see, with our official prediction being a Manchester City win.
