Barclays Premier League: Manchester City vs Manchester United Odds and Betting Preview

MANCHESTER, UK - Manchester City will hope tonight`s derby match against Manchester United will breath some much needed life into their season when they meet at Eastlands this evening. Manchester City are favourites for the encounter, best priced at 17/10 (bet £10 to make £17 profit) with Paddy Power. A draw is quoted at best odds of 9/4 with Bet365 and a win for Manchester United are priced at 2/1 on Betfair.

In the total goals market, over 2.5 goals is priced at 11/10 with Ladbrokes and under 2.5 goals is best priced at 5/6 with Sky Bet.

City had lost three games in a row before last weekend`s win over West Brom and Mancini`s position at the club is coming under increasing pressure, he is now priced at 3/1 with Sky bet to be the first Premier League Manager to get sacked. It is no coincidence Man City`s win coincided with the return of captain Carlos Tevez. The Argentine has been in superb form for Manchester City this season, but it will worry fans how poorly City played in his absence.

Tevez is City`s top goalscorer and he will be key to undoing his former club, who it is claimed have been suffering from a virus. For United Rooney is still missing and so the goalscoring burden falls to Berbatov and Hernandez, who have nine goals between them in the league.

Tevez is the bookies favourite to open the scoring tonight, priced at 5/1 with Coral. In the same market, Javier Hernandez is priced at 11/2 with Bet365, Adebayor is best priced at 13/2 with Sportingbet, Berbatov is quoted at best odds of 8/1 with Coral and Macheda is a 9/1 chance with Paddy Power to get the opener this evening.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 6/1 with William Hill,a 1-0 win for City is priced at 8/1 with Ladbrokes and a 2-1 win for the Citizens is best priced at 10/1 with Betfred. A goalless draw is priced at 10/1 with Victor Chandler and a 1-0 win for United is priced at 19/2 on Betfair.

United are still unbeaten this season and have won six on the trot in all competitions, which leaves them only two points behind Chelsea in the League and top of their group in the Champions League.
