Manchester Clubs Win To Nil Double

Sunday afternoon should deliver victories for both halves of Manchester with the prospect of them each collecting clean sheets in the process well worth considering. BetVictor offer a best price double of 3.13/1 on City and United both winning to nil.

Man City v Huddersfield:

Underdog optimists will point out that Huddersfield secured a famous 0-0 draw at the Etihad as recently as May which helped earn Premier League survival against the odds. Without diminishing that achievement, City had the title in the bag by then and were perhaps slightly less motivated and lightning surely won’t strike twice.

Town were well beaten at home to Chelsea on opening weekend and have a real goalscoring issue. They have failed to find the net in 8 of their last 11 in the top flight and this will surely be a long, hard second season for the Terriers.

Brighton v Man Utd:

In a similar vein this fixture also threw up a surprise late last season as Brighton beat the Red Devils 1-0 at the Amex. But again there’s a feeling that this time will be different as a Paul Pogba inspired United aim to keep early pace with their neighbours.

That May result was the Seagulls’ only victory in their last 10 in the Premier League and they looked fairly abject at Watford last time out. Chris Hughton will get a response out of his players but United’s defence has been their greatest strength under Mourinho. Expect the visitors to graft their way to three points.
