In my opinion Manchester United have really good chances to avoid loss in this match.

In last 13 months United played against City 5 times and they lost only once. United went unbeaten against City in last 3 matches in a row and they not even conceded a single goal.

Manchester United coming for this match with almost best possible squad - only striker Cavani and central defender Lindelof are unavailable, but that shouldn't be problem. Their replacements looked excellent in last match - Martial scored a goal, Bailly was impressive in defense. On the other hand City have more serious squad problems - their first goalkeeper Ederson and key right defender Walker are unavailable today. In last match we saw on the pitch goalkeeper Steffen who played his first Premier League game ever, on the left defense played Zinchenko (only 2 matches in current season). City as well have problems with striker - Gabriel is unavailable, Aguero still is not fully fit to play 90 minutes (he slowly recovering from knee injury). In last match City played without any striker. I believe United as well have huge advantage because of schedule - they played last match 5 days ago at home against Aston Villa, City played last match only 3 days ago on away against Chelsea. Two days in current heavy schedule it's a big difference.

Manchester United disappointed in Champions League, but since 1 November and loss at home against Arsenal they are unbeaten in last 11 matches in a row on English stadiums, they recorded 9 wins in the process. Everything start clicking together. Defense is solid (they kept clean sheet 4 times in these matches), but offensive power looks amazing - in 8 matches they score more than one goal, in 5 matches they scored more than two goals. Team is full of confidence after two very important wins at home against Wolves and Aston Villa. They have real chances for the title, atmosphere in team is fantastic. This is third match in a row for United at Old Trafford - for sure this is some kind of advantage as they don't have to travel in last days.

Of course City is big class team. In last match 3 days ago they won 3:1 on away against Chelsea - on the paper that looks like great result, but Chelsea is completely out of form. City defense is very solid in current season, but they have problems with goalscoring - in Premier League table 9 teams (!!!) scored more goals than City. It's unavailable stat in comparison to previous years. Today without their strikers City firepower once again is very vulnerable.

I see great opportunity for United to avoid loss in this match and maybe get promotion into big final.

在我看来，曼联在这场比赛中有很好的机会避免失败。

在过去的13个月里，曼联和曼城交手5次，他们只输了一次。曼联在过去的三场比赛中对曼城保持不败，他们甚至没有丢过一个球。

曼联带着几乎最好的阵容来参加这场比赛——只有前锋卡瓦尼和中后卫林德洛夫不能上场，但这应该不成问题。他们的替补队员在上一场比赛中表现出色——马绍尔进了一球，贝利在防守上表现出色。另一方面，曼城有更严重的阵容问题——他们的第一门将艾德森和关键右后卫沃克今天不能上场。在上一场比赛中，我们在球场上看到了史上第一次参加英超联赛的守门员史蒂芬，在左路防守中对阵了津琴科(本赛季只打了2场)。曼城的前锋也有问题——加布里埃尔不能上场，阿奎罗仍然没有完全恢复踢满90分钟(他从膝伤中慢慢恢复)。在上一场比赛中，曼城队没有任何前锋。我相信曼联在赛程上也有巨大的优势——他们在5天前的主场对阵阿斯顿维拉，而曼城在3天前的客场对阵切尔西。在目前繁重的日程中，这两天是一个很大的区别。

曼联在冠军联赛中失望了，但是自从11月1日主场输给阿森纳之后，他们在英格兰球场连续11场不败，他们在这一过程中取得了9胜。一切都开始合在一起。防守很稳固(在这些比赛中他们有4次没有失球)，但是进攻能力看起来很惊人——在8场比赛中他们进了一个以上的球，在5场比赛中他们进了两个以上的球。在主场对阵狼队和阿斯顿维拉的两场重要胜利后，球队充满了信心。他们有机会夺冠，球队的气氛非常棒。这是曼联在老特拉福德的第三场比赛了——这肯定是某种优势，因为他们不用在最后几天去客场。

曼城在3天前的最后一场比赛中，他们以3:1战胜了切尔西——从纸面上看，这是一个伟大的结果，但切尔西完全不在状态。曼城的防守在本赛季非常稳固，但是他们在进球方面有问题——在英超球队中有9支球队(!!)进球比曼城多。与前几年相比，这是不可能出现的数据。今天没有了他们的前锋，曼城火力再次变得非常脆弱。

我认为曼联有很好的机会避免输掉这场比赛，并且晋级决赛。
