Summary:
The “Manchester Derby” pits the best attacking team (Man City) against the best defensive team (Man Utd). Manchester City brought back nearly their entire roster while Manchester United splurged on several high profile players in the offseason. This will likely end in a draw but for prediction sake I will say Manchester United wins at home.
