Former footballer Chris Sutton has shared his prediction for the upcoming Premier League clash between Manchester City and Manchester United. The Citizens are coming off a successful FA Cup match against Luton Town, where they secured a 6-2 victory to advance to the next round of the competition.

As Pep Guardiola’s team prepares for one of the biggest league games of the season, Sutton, in his column for BBC Sport, discussed the upcoming match between the two Manchester sides. He expressed his belief that Manchester United has been “getting away with it” for a while now and that City is on a different level compared to them.

Sutton highlighted City’s recent league performances where they managed to secure wins despite some struggles, suggesting that everything will come together for them soon. He also mentioned United’s recent scrappy win against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, indicating that they may struggle against City, especially with key defenders out injured.

The pundit expects City to come out victorious in the clash, emphasizing the importance of players like Kevin De Bruyne in their potential success. With City currently 15 points ahead of United in the league table and showing better offensive and defensive statistics, Sutton believes a comfortable home win for City is likely this Sunday.

A win against their local rivals would not only bring City closer to the top of the table but also boost team morale as they continue their pursuit of reclaiming the Premier League title. The match between City and United is anticipated to be a significant event in the league season, with fans and pundits alike eager to see how the two sides will perform on the day.
