Manchester United vs. Manchester City

Two of the top four teams in the English Premier League clash. Second-ranked Manchester City has allowed 16 goals in 17 matches, the third-fewest given up. The offense was out of synch in the last game, a 2-0 loss to Southampton failing to register a single shot on target. In 11 of their last 18 games, at least one team has failed to score, including eight of their last nine on the road. Fourth-ranked Manchester United can also play tough defense, outscoring league foes 27-20 through 17 matches. The defense has surrendered just one goal over the last six games. For this showdown, the offense will be without midfielder Donny van de Beek (serious knee injury). Nine of their last 14 have seen at least one team fail to tally, including 10 of their last 12 at home. These teams played a wild nine-goal thriller in October, a 6-3 Manchester City victory. However, six of the last eight encounters have seen at least one team shut out, including one 0-0 scoreless duel. Bet NO on Both Teams To Score.
