STAR PREVIEW: Man U v Man C

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]inner, winner, chicken dinner with the recommended bet on Tuesday – Liverpool HT/FT which got past the post despite getting a little nervey towards the end.

More EFL Cup action tonight with the Manchester derby the highlight and pressure mounting on both managers.

Seems a silly thing to say, in the case of Man City particularly, as they are topping the table but they’ve seen a decent lead ebb away and Pep Guardiola’s side are now five games without a win.

Man U are only one win in four and were of course thumped 4-0 by Chelsea at the weekend.

The usual caveat of whether the teams really want to be involved in this apply and there might well be more relief to be knocked out than remain in at this juncture of the season.

The team news will be crucial and Guardiola will be without midfielder Kevin de Bruyne who has a calf injury.

Guardiola said: “Derbies are always special. We are going to try to play seriously and try to win the game.”

It’s pretty hard to find a good angle to put one team in front of the other so on that basis alone a stalemate after 90 minutes looks the call. An extra 30 minutes of football looks on the cards which surely both managers won’t relish?
