The Manchester derby is almost upon us and as one would imagine every man and his dog, including well-established football pundits, are busy talking about and predicting this afternoon’s result.
Before we look at how Mark Lawrenson, Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier, Paul Merson, and Charlie Nicholas predict today’s game, I am going to jump the gun and state my prediction.
Manchester City 4-0 Manchester United.
Opinion
If, as expected City take the game by the scruff of the neck the match could be over by half-time. I anticipate United will park the bus (again) and hope for a loose ball and counter-attack based on lady luck.
