Man City comes out as favourites
Manchester City has won six of the last seven meetings with their local rivals. In recent seasons City has been in their best form. The Citizens have won their last six games. During this period, they have scored an average of 3.33 goals. Unsurprisingly, Manchester City have had the best attack in the Premier League this season.
Man United improved their attack but not their defence
Erik ten Hag’s team finished 8th in the Premier League. Despite difficulties in defense, Manchester United has improved offensively since the start of the year. They have played 23 games in 2024 and have averaged 2.04 goals per game over that period. Ten Hagg’s charges have only failed to score in two of those games. Both teams have scored in five of the last six games. That includes last year’s FA Cup final, which City won 2-1.
The strength of both teams is in attack
Phil Foden is enjoying his best season yet. He was crowned Premier League Player of the Season ahead of Ollie Watkins after City won the title last weekend. Phil scored twice, beating West Ham 3-1 in that game, and will be looking to complete his excellent season by scoring in the FA Cup final. He scored in the 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Fodden should have plenty of space to operate again. My prediction in this match is for Phil Foden to score anytime at odds of 2.40.
