PREVIEW
Chelsea and Man U can’t be split in the outright Premier League market on BETDAQ with Liverpool close behind and Arsenal seemingly out of the race having being hammered by Chelsea at the weekend.
I think those odds are about right. Man City have three games in hand – including this tough match against rivals and neighbours Man U.
Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle and West Brom have all won at Man U this season so the Old Trafford ‘fear factor’ is no longer there. Indeed, Man City won here last season.
But this will be by no means easy for City. There’s far more pressure on them to deliver than United. It’s all very well having the games in hand but points on the board mean more – and City now run into a United side starting to play good football again.
Boosted by a midweek fightback to beat Olympiakos and qualify for the Champions League quarter finals, United were again seen to good effect at West Ham on Saturday winning 2-0.
This could be very tough for Man City and we think a draw is the most likely outcome.
