The Manchester derby is the main game of this round of the Premier League. After several not-so-convincing games and hard-won points, Manchester City reminded all their opponents what they have with a convincing victory against Luton. Although Luton are not at the very top of English football, the way City played was a good reminder of what Guardiola has at his disposal. Against Luton, Haaland scored five goals and De Bruyne assisted four. If the two continue to play like this, Manchester City will be the biggest favorites for the title. They have 17 games unbeaten in all competitions and 11 games in the Premier League. In the last three months, they have dropped points only against Crystal Palace and Chelsea. After Liverpool won with a goal in the 98th minute against Nottingham, City are again 4 points behind the leaders. They have a tough schedule ahead of them with scheduled games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Brighton, Arsenal and Aston Villa. All the teams from the top 7 and they are not guaranteed points against any of them. These kinds of matches are usually very uncertain, but according to everything shown so far, Manchester City is a big favorite in this match. Manchester United somehow managed to beat Nottingham Forest and advance to the 6th round of the FA Cup. But last week was difficult for them. They lost against Fulham at Old Trafford. They remained in 6th place with 44 points and are six points behind Tottenham and 11 points behind Aston Villa. During the whole season, they play very badly, but they do not have such a bad position in the table, primarily because of the individual quality of certain players. The game they are showing is far from safe, and the atmosphere in the team is not at a very high level either. The big problem for United this season is the defense and they haven't managed to keep a clean sheet for more than two months. Given that they are playing against one of the best attacks in the league, it seems unlikely that they will go without conceding a goal today. In addition to a rather uncertain game recently, United cr in this match also have problems with the absence of several important players such as Hojlund, Martinez Wan-Bissaka and Shaw. If City repeats at least part of the game from the game with Luton, United will have almost no chance in this match.

曼彻斯特德比是本轮英超联赛的重头戏。在经历了几场不那么令人信服的比赛和来之不易的积分之后，曼城队以一场令人信服的胜利提醒了所有对手他们拥有什么。虽然卢顿并不是英格兰足坛的顶级球队，但曼城的比赛方式很好地提醒了瓜迪奥拉的能力。对阵卢顿，哈兰德打进5球，德布鲁因助攻4球。如果这两支球队继续保持这样的状态，曼城将是夺冠的最大热门。他们在各项赛事中有17场不败，在英超联赛中有11场不败。在过去的三个月里，他们只在对阵水晶宫和切尔西的比赛中丢过分。利物浦在第98分钟以一球战胜诺丁汉后，曼城再次落后领头羊4分。他们的赛程十分艰难，他们将对阵曼联、利物浦、布莱顿、阿森纳和阿斯顿维拉。所有来自前7名的球队，他们不能保证在对阵任何一支球队时都能得分。这类比赛通常非常不确定，但根据目前显示的一切，曼城是这场比赛的大热门。曼联莫名其妙地击败了诺丁汉森林队，挺进足总杯第6轮。但上周对他们来说很艰难。他们在老特拉福德输给了富勒姆。他们以44分排名第六，落后热刺6分，落后阿斯顿维拉11分。在整个赛季中，他们踢得非常糟糕，但他们在积分榜上的位置并没有那么差，主要是因为某些球员的个人素质。他们表现出的比赛很不安全，球队的气氛也不是很好。曼联本赛季最大的问题是防守，他们已经两个多月没有保持不失球了。考虑到他们面对的是联盟中最好的进攻之一，他们今天不可能不失球。除了一场不确定的比赛之外，曼联在这场比赛中还有一些重要球员的缺阵问题，比如霍伊伦德、马丁内斯-万-比萨卡和肖。如果曼城至少重复了与卢顿比赛的部分比赛，那么曼联在这场比赛中几乎没有机会。
