Betting Preview: Manchester United vs. Manchester City: Away Win Likely

The Manchester United players need a big performance when they face city rivals Manchester City at home after their shambolic outing against Everton at the weekend.

Everton made light work of a talented Manchester United squad via a 4-0 win.

It was the Toffees’ biggest win of the season as well as the Red Devils’ biggest defeat of this Premier League campaign.

Ahead of the Manchester City game, Manchester United have lost six of the last eight games including five successive defeats on the road though it must be pointed out that their home form in recent weeks is a far cry from their away form.

The Red Devils have won two of their last three games with the only winless match coming in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Spanish La Liga side Barcelona.

Premier League champions Manchester City can take a big step towards retaining the title when they face Manchester United away from home.

A win for the Citizens, at the odds of 1.44 according to Bet365, will take them one point clear of current top spot recipient Liverpool at the Premier League summit.

Manchester City are the overwhelming favourites but an unlikely win for the hosts is at the odds of 7.00 while the possibility of a stalemate is at the odds of 5.00.
