Manchester United face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, April 6, 2025.
Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has made his prediction. According to Merson the game will end in a 1-1 draw.
"This is an interesting game because Manchester United enjoyed a lot of the ball in that defeat at Nottingham Forest. And Manchester City are not ripping teams apart either, you know what I mean? City went 2-0 ahead against Leicester and it eventually became boring! That is so unlike the City of the past," said Merson via Sportskeeda.
"The Manchester derby this time around isn't a foregone conclusion like in the past few years. I feel Manchester United have a chance. It's not like City are playing well and I don't expect them to dominate the hosts at Old Trafford.
"Jack Grealish looked good in that deeper midfield role against Leicester. But I don't really know how much that performance really means cause Leicester are one of the worst teams in the division! All I'm saying is that City isn't at their best and that gives United a strong chance to get something from this game."
