For the visitors, Rasmus Winther Højlund has shown flashes of brilliance despite a lower rating of 6.53. His 8 shots on target from 16 attempts indicate a potential for breaking through City's defense. Anthony Jordan Martial brings an attacking edge with a rating of 6.68, and his ability to create space and chances will be crucial for United. In defense, Teden Mambuene Mengi has shown promise with a rating of 6.81 and will need to marshal his backline effectively to keep City's attackers at bay.
On the other hand, Manchester United's form 'WWWWD' shows they are not to be taken lightly. Although they are 6th in the table with 44 points, their resilience on the road could prove pivotal in this encounter.
City's defense, featuring Aké and Akanji, looks robust and is expected to stifle United's attacking threats like Martial. Meanwhile, United will need Mengi to be at his best to keep City's forwards in check. The midfield battle will also be crucial, and City's home advantage and current form give them the edge.
In conclusion, while the unpredictability of a derby can never be discounted, the data and performances suggest that Manchester City have the upper hand. Expect a tightly contested match, but with City's quality and home record, the final prediction is a double chance: Manchester City to win or draw. This derby could very well solidify City's Champions League aspirations and add another memorable chapter to the storied rivalry.
