The Manchester derby is taking place at Old Trafford on Sunday. How do Gary Neville and Roy Keane think the game between Man United and Man City will end?
Manchester City and Manchester United go into this one looking to put what’s been miserable seasons behind them. Pep Guardiola’s City sit in 5th place of the Premier League table whilst Ruben Amorim’s United sit down in 13th place, with 14 points separating the two teams.
Earlier in the season, Man United picked up an unlikely 2-1 win at the Etihad. But Man City will go into this one as the favourites with Pep’s side beating Leicester City 2-0 in midweek to make back-to-back wins, whilst United saw a run of back-to-back wins halted by Nottingham Forest in midweek.
Man City still have a 4th place finish within their reach and a win on Sunday could see them leapfrog Chelsea who currently sit in 4th, with Enzo Maresca’s side playing West London neighbours Brentford on Sunday.
On Sunday, Man City will be without Erling Haaland after he sustained an injury against Bournemouth last weekend.

Gary Neville and Roy Keane predict draws in Man United vs Man City
Speaking on The Overlap ahead of the weekend, former Manchester United players Roy Keane and Gary Neville gave their score predictions for the game on Sunday, and both are hopeful that United take at least something from the game.
Keane predicted a 1-1 draw whilst Neville predicted a 2-2 draw. Neville is hoping that Man United’s half-decent record in the so-called ‘big games’ this season will stand United in good stead ahead of Sunday, with Man City not exactly boasting a good record on the road this season (Man City are 10th in the Premier League away table).
But the Red Devils haven’t been so formidable at Old Trafford either with United sitting 12th in the Premier League home form table this season. Given that, many fans might also be predicting a draw on Sunday.
