A supercomputer prediction has installed Manchester City as the favourites to win the Manchester derby against United at Old Trafford. City currently sit second in the table, while United are eighth. Both teams head into the match with back-to-back wins.
A supercomputer prediction for Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford has installed City as the favourites to scoop all three points and the local bragging rights.
Both sides, however, will head into the contest with back-to-back wins under their belts following the recent restart after the international break. United built on last weekend's 2-1 win over Sheffield United with a 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League in midweek, while City defeated BSC Young Boys 3-1 on Wednesday night, four days after edging past Brighton & Hove Albion, winning 2-1.
Nevertheless, the Blues have been named as the pre-derby favourites, with a BetVictor supercomputer giving them a 47.7 per cent chance of scooping all three points. They won two of the three derby meetings last season, but their defeat did come at Old Trafford.
