United win: 13/5 (BetVictor)

Goals: Man City
City edge this statistic by virtue of home advantage but they face a team with the meanest defence away from home. Attack and defence could cancel each other out.

Goalscorer: Sergio Aguero
Although Wayne Rooney has been enjoying the more prolific season, Sergio Aguero edges this head to head because of home advantage.

Yellow Cards: Below Average
If you combine City and United’s average number of yellow cards, you would expect 2.9 bookings in this game. Even accounting for Alan Marriner being a disciplinarian, this is below average.
Total Booking Points: Under 45 at 3/1 (Ladbrokes)
Yellow Card = 10 points
Red Card = 25 points

Red Cards: Above Average
Combining City and United’s red card frequency you would expect an average number of red cards in this game, but add Alan Marriner’s propensity to send players off and there is an above average risk of a red card in this game. The biggest danger falls on City players who have been shown a combined five red cards this season.
Man City to have a player sent off: 4/1 (Blue Square)
