Chris Sutton’s crazy Man City vs Man United Prediction!
As matchday 27 rolls out over the weekend, Man City are all set to host Man United at the Etihad Stadium and pundit Chris Sutton offered his Man City vs Man United prediction which has left the fans of the Red Devils absolutely fuming!
Man City vs Man United: A battle of prestige
In the build-up to the Manchester derby, Manchester City and Manchester United participated in the FA Cup midweek. City bullied Luton Town to a 6-2 defeat to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Meanwhile, an injury-riddled United managed to scrape past Nottingham Forest with a slender 1-0 victory to reach the quarter-finals. Now, the two clubs are all set to face-off in a battle of prestige.
Much has been said about the contrast in the form of the two clubs from Manchester. While Man City are in 2nd place, one point behind table toppers Liverpool and in the race for the Premier League title, United are struggling to secure a top 4 spot to guarantee Champions League football for themselves next season. The Red Devils were viciously dumped out of the UCL earlier this season after they finished last in their group. However, City are almost on its way through to the QF of the UCL. United had managed to string some impressive performances in the past few weeks on the back of striker Rasmus Højlund. However, with the striker out injured, the ray of light for United has faded, too. In this dark moment for United, pundit Chris Sutton offered his Man City vs Man United prediction, which has left fans of the club fuming!
Chris Sutton incites fans as he offers his Man City vs Man United prediction!
Pundit Chris Sutton has been predicting the outcome of all games this Premier League campaign. With Man City vs Man United on the horizon, the ex-Chelsea man offered his take on the derby, which has irked fans. While speaking with BBC Sport, Sutton said, “ Manchester United have been getting away with it for a while now.” Elaborating further he said, “ They are not on the same level with City.” The pundit also was of the opinion that United ‘deserved’ to be beaten by Fulham last weekend.
The ex-manager finally offered his Man City vs Man United prediction and said, “ City will win, I’ve got no doubt about that. It’s just a question of how many will they score. If it clicks for City, and Kevin de Bruyne has said he feels like he is getting better by the game, then I just think they could run away with it.”
United have already been reeling with the absence of key players in their bid to finish in the top four. A loss against City could break their will even further.
