Manchester City is in top form, as demonstrated by their recent victory over Luton in the FA Cup, where key players like Haaland and de Bruyne showcased their prowess. The combination of Haaland and de Bruyne is seen as crucial to City's pursuit of their fourth consecutive title. Considering Haaland's recent return from injury and his history of scoring against Manchester United, predicting another goal-scoring performance from him in the upcoming match against United seems plausible. The Norwegian striker has a remarkable record against United, having scored five goals, with only Aguero having more league goals (8) for City in this fixture. City enjoys the advantage of playing at home, where they remain unbeaten in league play this season. Their offensive performance at home has been consistent, scoring in all competitions for 54 home games. Additionally, Guardiola has a positive track record against Manchester United, having won eight out of 15 Premier League duels. Manchester United, on the other hand, has struggled with consistency this season, suffering their tenth defeat against Fulham. Their defense has been particularly shaky in the second half of games, conceding 61 percent of goals after the break. Despite these challenges, they have a tendency to score in the second half. Hojlund's absence in Manchester United's offensive lineup is considered a significant setback, as he had been in excellent form before his injury. The Danish forward had scored in each of his six competitive games in the league and FA Cup before his injury, highlighting his importance to the team. Manchester City enters the upcoming derby as the stronger team, with key players in excellent form and this will be key factor for win. I expect City to cover -1.5 AH.

曼城正处于最佳状态，最近在足总杯上战胜卢顿就证明了这一点，像哈兰德和德布鲁因这样的关键球员展示了他们的实力。哈兰德和德布鲁因的组合被认为是曼城追求四连冠的关键。考虑到哈兰德最近从伤病中恢复，以及他在对阵曼联的比赛中进球的历史，预测他在即将到来的对阵曼联的比赛中再次进球似乎是有道理的。这位挪威前锋在对阵曼联的比赛中打进了5个进球，仅次于阿圭罗，他在本场比赛中打进了8球。曼城享受着主场比赛的优势，他们在本赛季的联赛中保持不败。他们在主场的进攻表现一直很稳定，在54场主场比赛中所有比赛都有进球。此外，瓜迪奥拉在对阵曼联的比赛中有着良好的战绩，在英超联赛的15场对决中赢了8场。另一方面，曼联本赛季一直在努力保持稳定，在对阵富勒姆的比赛中遭遇了十场失利。他们的防守在下半场尤其不稳定，中场休息后丢了61%的球。尽管面临这些挑战，但他们在下半场有进球的倾向。霍伊伦德在曼联进攻阵容中的缺席被认为是一个重大的挫折，因为他在受伤之前一直保持着出色的状态。在受伤之前，这位丹麦前锋在联赛和足总杯的六场比赛中都有进球，这凸显了他对球队的重要性。曼城在即将到来的德比中是一支实力更强的球队，他们的主力球员状态极佳，这将是取胜的关键因素。我希望曼城支付-1.5 AH。
