Manchester United vs Man City betting and an 8/1 first scorer tip
pAre Manchester United the stand-out bet of the weekend?/p
p They are a huge strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorial15/4 to win a home game/a /strong against a team they beat at the Etihad in their last league meeting in December, and have also beaten in the EFL Cup second leg at the end of January. /p
p We asked United expert strongSamuel Luckhurst/strong what he expects at Old Trafford on Sunday. /p
h3Win, lose or draw?/h3
p Draw - at a strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorialvery big 16/5 with thepools.com/a /strong . United are borderline renascent, given their nine-game unbeaten run, although they have come up against domestic and European fodder. City have won seven of the last 10 Old Trafford derbies but are unlikely to have it as easy as they did against the previous Solskjaer sides. /p
h3Whoapos;s a good bet for first scorer?/h3
p Anthony Martial can be dormant for inordinate spells whereas Bruno Fernandes is constantly involved and attempted 27 shots in just seven United games. strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorialFernandes is also 8/1 first goal/a /strong while strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorialMartial is a skinnier 6/1/a /strong . Fernandesapos; strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorial13/5 anytime scorer/a /strong is also worthy of consideration. /p
h3First yellow?/h3
pBrandon Williams - if United accommodate him in a back three system. Nemanja Matic might be vulnerable against Cityapos;s transitions./p
h3Whoapos;s on penalties?/h3
pFernandes. See above!/p
h3Will United keep a clean sheet?/h3
p They managed to do so at City in January, though David de Geaapos;s goal led a charmed life. So no.#xA0; strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorialBoth Teams To Score is a nailed on 4/6/a /strong but the best bet is surely Both Teams To Score and Either team to win, strong a href=https://play.thepools.com/sportsbook/SOCCER/EN_PR/5048177/?utm_medium=inline-editorialamp;utm_source=reach-nationworkwideamp;utm_campaign=football_odds_editorialwhich is 13/10/a /strong . /p
