Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction
United are at home in the Quarters, and then they beat Colchester with a 3-0 scoreline. All three goals came in the second half, in the span of just nine minutes.
Meanwhile, City are on the road against Oxford. Powered by Raheem Sterling - brace, Citizens cruised to victory 1-3 on the road, to take place in the semis.
Tuesday, City seemed to have the upper hand. Ignoring their problem with Liverpool for one moment, and they still are one of the best teams in the UK and in the world. If not for Jurgen Klopp overshadowing them, the team still showed exceptional form, and domination over other teams.
In fact, they have won eight games overall their last ten, and four former five of their road.
In addition, because the Reds have started to show their true colors, children town has tried extra hard in the field, and they will insist on progress to the final, eliminating Manchester United.
Occurs, United winless in four of the seven overall their last match-up, and they also failed to score in their last two games.
In addition, four of the last five clashes h2h has ended with the team on the road to win, and at Old Trafford, United only have two wins to show for since 2011.
Importantly, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yet still find a rhythm with the kids, and still very inconsistent. On the other hand, Pep has been at the top of the game for several years running, and despite some minor stumble this season, they are still the squad to be feared.
Taking into account these observations, Manchester City seem practical choice to give our support to win.
However, considering that this is a clash between the arch-rivals. England will be desperate to pile on the problems City, and they will regard this as the final match-ups for the big trophy.
On top of that, if a man is able to eliminate Citizens Solskjaer, only Leicester or Aston Villa remain on course for EFL Cup glory. American players desperate need of some silverware at the end of the season, and certainly, they will make their Carabao top priority right now.
In addition, the Red Devils have home advantage, and they will want to make the most of it, before taking a trip to the Etihad for the reverse fixture.
Occur, the City has shown an undeniable problem with them since the loss of Aymeric Laporte defended, and the unavailability of quality reserves have hurt them badly.
Additionally, at home, the UK has been on a roll for some time. In fact, throughout this season, the Devils have lost just once in front of the home crowd, and combine all of the above factors together, it is estimated that, at least once will be Manchester United found the back of the net Tuesday.
