Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester City vs Manchester United

BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for the upcoming derby between Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Cityzens have been in exceptional form over the past few months and they recently won their 21st straight game across all competitions.

In league terms, they have won 15 in a row and are clear at the top of the standings with a 14-point lead over arch-rivals United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were considered as potential title challengers just four weeks ago, but that no longer appears the case.

They have suffered just one league defeat this year, but their regular tendency to play stalemates has cost them in the bid to keep up with the Cityzens.
