Erik ten Hag's Manchester United recently clinched a narrow victory over Sheffield United in the Premier League with a remarkable goal from Diogo Dalot. Their previous match against the Danish champions also displayed a lackluster attacking front, relying on the defensive line to secure the win.
In the latest European fixture, Harry Maguire's second-half header and a crucial late penalty save by Andre Onana secured Manchester United's long-awaited success in European football, marking a three-game winning streak in the 2023-24 season. However, these victories, while valuable, have not been particularly convincing.
Despite recent wins against Sheffield United and Brentford, Manchester United has climbed to eighth place in the Premier League with 15 points. Yet, they still sit five points behind Liverpool for the final Champions League spot. Even fervent Manchester United supporters might acknowledge that luck has played a part in their recent victories. The team's persistent struggles in the attacking third could potentially lead to their downfall in the upcoming derby on Sunday.
While Manchester City hasn't been flawless in defense this season, it's unlikely that the hosts' disjointed attack will trouble Guardiola's side. The prediction leans toward Manchester City securing both the bragging rights and three points in what promises to be the weekend's headline match, despite the passionate support from the Old Trafford stands.
