They won 13 of their 19 home league games last season, more than everyone bar Arsenal and City themselves, and beat City at Old Trafford in January in a result that helped Arsenal pull clear at the top. They have already scored five in a home game this season. Carrick’s side are better at Old Trafford than their fourth-place-from-bottom start suggests.The problem is what happens at the other end. United kept four home clean sheets in 19 attempts last season, 68% of their home league games saw both teams score, and they have conceded in all three this term. City have scored in every away game they have played since last season and take a maximum nine points into this one. Nine goals in three games would flatter City, who have scored six, but they have not needed more.Manchester City to winBoth teams to scoreCity will have had five days since Porto, United three since Sabah, and in a derby this tight that gap may decide more than form does.Understanding the offerTo qualify:Register as a new Betway customer ahead of Manchester Utd vs Manchester City (18+, UK only) and select the offer on registrationDeposit £20 or more via debit card or instant bank transfer onlyPlace a cumulative bet of £20 or more on qualifying sports markets, excluding racing, greyhounds and trotting, at odds of evens (2.0) or higher, settling within 7 days of registrationEnhanced odds, profit boosts and insurance bets do not count towards the qualifying betCashed-out or voided bets do not qualifyThe breakdown of your Free Bets:4 x £10 free bets, made up of 2 Bet Builders and 2 AccasEach requires a minimum of 4 legs at odds of 4.0 or higherAll free bets valid for 7 daysDebit card deposits onlyKey terms and conditions of this Betway offerDebit card deposit only, certain methods excludedQualifying bet must be placed at minimum odds of 2.0Free bets expire 7 days after being creditedCannot be used on multi-line multiple bets such as Trixies or Yankees18+, full T&Cs apply Read more about the Premier League during the 2026/27 seasonPremier League winner oddsPremier League top 4 oddsPremier League relegation oddsPremier League refereesGolden Boot oddsAbout the authorZack LaneZack Patrick Lane is an enthusiastic sports writer and lifelong Aston Villa supporter who passionately follows the beautiful game.
