Manchester United host arch rivals Manchester City for the 189th Manchester Derby at the Old Trafford Stadium this Saturday in the Premier League. Notably, it was City who had won the reverse fixture in the previous derby which was played at their home at the Ethihad Stadium in October last year.
In that sense, the Red Devils would be keen on avenging their defeat, especially after the manner in which they were humiliated 6-3.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Fantasy Tips
There has been a lot of positives for United since that defeat to City and they look like a different team altogether. Manager Erik ten Hag has led his team to an incredible run with them having lost just 1 of their last 18 games. More recent form suggests more good news as they won all their six matches after the FIFA World Cup break.
Marcus Rashford and Antony are going to be the key goal-scorers for the home team as they are the highest goal-scorers for their club so far while Erling Haaland would look to continue his amazing run of form, having netted the most number of goals in the Premier League this season.
Among these 3, a user can easily choose their captain and vice-captain options. David de Gea can be trusted between the poles as a reliable shot-stopper while Luke Shaw, Nathan Ake, Kevin De Bruyne can be some handy options in the defence and midfield.
