Line: Manchester United +130, Manchester City +210, Tie +230, Total: 2.5

Manchester United hosts local rivals Manchester City on Saturday.

Both Manchester United and Manchester City have claimed three wins in three matches thus far, but at least one team’s perfect start must come to an end on Saturday. United will start with David De Gea in net, with Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly, Daley Blind, and Luke Shaw in defense. Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba will start in center midfield, with Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney in more advanced roles. Anthony Martial has been the other regular starter in attacking midfield, but he could lose his spot to Marcus Rashford. As usual, Zlatan Ibrahimovic will lead the line. For City, new signing Claudio Bravo could start in goal, with a defensive unit of Pablo Zabaleta, Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, and Aleksandar Kolarov. Fernandinho will anchor the midfield, with Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, and Nolito further up the pitch. With Sergio Aguero suspended, youngster Kelechi Iheanacho should start in attack. The amount of offensive talent available should mean that more than 2.5 goals will be scored. The Red Devils will use the Old Trafford crowd to their advantage, and earn a valuable 3-1 win.
