Manchester United hosts Manchester City in round 11 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 6th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United beat Tottenham away in the last round of the English Premier League (0-3). A few days later, the Red Devils tied against Atalanta in the Champions League away match (2-2). It is noteworthy that Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals in those two games. In total, the Portuguese has already scored nine goals in eleven matches in all tournaments! After ten rounds, Manchester United has 17 points and takes fifth place in the standings. The gap to the TOP-4 is only three points. As for recent home statistics in the Premier League, the Red Devils could not win in three consecutive matches (two defeats and one draw). All the results of the team in the home games look like this: two wins, one draw, and two losses with a goal difference of 10-9.

Manchester City, like its opponent, also played in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Guardiola's men dealt with Club Brugge KV at home (4-1). That victory allowed the Citizens to lead their group. In the last round of the Premier League, the Sky Blues sensationally lost to Crystal Palace at home (0-2), interrupting a streak of eight consecutive matches without defeats. As before, Manchester City is on the 3rd line in the standings (20 points scored). But now the gap to the leading Chelsea is five points. At the moment, the Citizens have a streak of four consecutive away matches without defeats in the Premier League: three victories and one draw. In general, the team lost only 2 times in the last 19 games in the championship (with 15 wins and two draws).
Of course, Manchester City is much better than Manchester United in terms of the quality of football. But Solskjaer is an incredibly successful coach. And very often he just gets lucky in big matches. Beyond that, now he can count on Ronaldo, who has already helped his team with goals scored several times. Manchester United will have a slight advantage in the form of the home pitch. In addition, the Red Devils had more time to recover from the Champions League. The fans will see a match between bitter rivals, and the visitors look stronger. But I think that this time the hosts will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with +0.5 handicap
