It’s no secret that Manchester United are gearing up for a crunch derby match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday night.
The game is obviously a big one regardless of circumstance – but this week’s fixture has added value as both clubs fight to secure Champions League qualification next season.
Manchester City are currently fourth in the Premier League, just one point ahead of their cross-city rivals.
A City win or a draw on Thursday night will see Pep Guardiola’s men extend their points advantage over United in terms of a top four finish.
If Jose Mourinho masterminds another big victory, following the comprehensive 2-0 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford, the Red Devils will swap places with City and occupy fourth spot, level on points with third-placed Liverpool with a game in hand on the Anfield side.
So can you predict what the result will be after the two sides take to the turf in East Manchester on Thursday night?
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal in a 1-0 United win at the Etihad last season – a result we’re sure Jose Mourinho would take this time around.
