by Simon Day in Premier League Picks
The Manchester derby is always one of the highlights of the Premier League season and this Sunday's encounter at Old Trafford will be no exception. It has been a dire season for United, but they did come out on top when the teams met at the Etihad in December. After trailing to a first half goal from Josko Gvardiol, last strikes from Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo gave United a shock 1-2 victory and bragging rights in the city.
Since that game, both sides have struggled for consistency and City's title defence is lying in tatters. However, they do still have an excellent chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League and victory on Sunday will go a long way towards ensuring that they remain at Europe's top table. As for United, they have little to play for the league, so boss Ruben Amorim may elect to shuffle his team ahead of Thursday's crucial Europa League quarter final against Lyon.

Manchester United - Manchester City: Form Analysis
United come into this game off the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat at Notts Forest in a game that they dominated for large parts. That defeat ended a run of four games undefeated for Ruben Amorim's team and ensured they remained in 13th place in the Premier League standings. United's form at Old Trafford has been inconsistent throughout the campaign and they have lost seven of their 15 Premier League home games, including five of their last eight.
City showing signs of life
After a dismal few months, City are slowly showing signs of improvement. Wednesday's routine 2-0 victory over Leicester City means they have now lost just one of their last six Premier League games and currently occupy the final Champions League spot in the Premier League table. City have also qualified for the FA Cup semi finals, thanks to last Sunday's come from behind victory at Bournemouth. So despite it being an extremely disappointing season for Pep Guardiola's side, they could still finish the campaign with another trophy in their cabinet.

Manchester United & Manchester City Squad Analysis
United have a number of key players out with long terms injuries. Etihad hero Amad Diallo, star midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and experienced defender Lisandro Martinez are all out for the game, whilst left back Luke Shaw is still some way short of match fitness. On the plus side, Mason Mount returned from injury in the Forest match and is in contention for his first start Premier League start of the year.
Haaland a big miss for City
City's top scorer Erling Haaland looks to be out for the season after suffering a bad ankle injury in the Cup victory at Bournemouth. Haaland joins the likes of Rodri, Nathan Ake and John Stones on the sidelines, leaving City boss Pep Guardiola with a big selection headache ahead of this huge clash.

Our Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction
United have shown a few signs of improvement in recent weeks, but they are still an extremely tough side to trust. City have hardly pulled up any trees themselves this season, but their recent results have been good and we think they have the edge in this game. A key reason for City's improved form has been new signing Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward has scored in each of his last three games, and we are backing the frontman to find the net once again on Sunday.
Our prediction for Manchester United vs Manchester City is: Draw and Omar Marmoush to score.
