Former England striker Michael Owen has said Manchester City will beat Manchester United in the derby game tonight.

Hotspur came in the last league game. But this game they will return to Old Trafford, where they haven’t won 3 games in a row (D1 L2).

Last weekend’s game After having not lost in the league for 8 consecutive matches (6 wins, 2 draws)

This pair met in the last 5 matches in all competitions. It is the United side that won 3 draws 1 loses 1

Owen commented. “Credit to Solskjaer for having to adjust the squad and win the important win from Spurs last week. He’s still under pressure but that game has eased. 

His movements were also world-class. And I think Zhao can make a huge difference.”

Derby day is almost upon as Manchester United and Manchester City fight it out for local bragging rights at Old Trafford tomorrow.

“I’m sure Pep will forget the defeat to Palace as it was one of those unlucky days. City have also been in excellent form over the past few weeks. They will try to come back in this game. I can’t see City losing two league games in a row.
