da marjack bet： The biggest game of the season so far is upon us this weekend and the predictions around who is going to win the Manchester Derby are beginning to pile up.
da betsson： Trying to predict a game of this magnitude is always hard but many in this instance think it’s Manchester United and not Manchester City who are set to take the bragging rights at Old Trafford on Saturday lunch time.
Pep Guardiola and his City side are without Sergio Aguero for the game this weekend and as their main source of goals people are wondering how exactly the blue half of Manchester will get the better of the red half.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils have their own talismanic forward in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and he is going to play. He’ll no doubt back himself to score too and you wouldn’t bet against him grabbing the headlines from the game.
Whatever happens, the match will have an effect on the title race and Merson thinks United will be the ones coming out with their title challenge in a better position.
Writing for Sky Sports he said: “Sergio Aguero is an absolutely massive miss for Man City.
“I know people say they have so much money and can afford to sign anyone, but he is one player they will struggle to replace. He is their best player by a million miles.”
“It will be interesting to see how John Stones gets on against Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Stones has the potential to be a top player but he’s inexperienced and is going up against someone who has been there, done it and got the t-shirt.
“We saw what Zlatan did to a player like Ryan Shawcross on his England debut when he was playing for Sweden.
“I expect Man Utd to just pip this game without Aguero.”
Merson has gone with 2-1 for the Red Devils but what do you think? Let us know in the comments below…
