derby lined up for Sunday as visitors Manchester United look to close the gap on the European spots with a positive result on the road this weekend while Manchester City look to overturn that current one-point deficit that sits between themselves and Liverpool at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City have held the bragging rights in the north-west across recent seasons, winning five of the previous six meetings between the two teams.<\/p>\n<p>However, United did pull off that one sensational 2-1 win at Old Trafford last year against City via a late four-minute blitz in the second half that saw them come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>Whether they\u2019ll be able to achieve that once again in this one will likely come down to how well United can marshall this City offense, an area Manchester United have been strong in all season however with GK Andre Onana keeping the joint-most road clean sheets away from home this year, as well as United ranking 2nd behind only Arsenal in terms of the number of opponent shutouts they\u2019ve registered on the road this season also.<\/p>\n<p>City have been red-hot defensively of late, especially at home, where they\u2019ve allowed just 0.29 GAPG across their last seven home starts, and come into this game allowing the joint-fewest goals at home this season also.<\/p>\n<p>Tweaking those defensive stats for first half form however provides even better results, with both United and City ranking top of the league respectively in the first half this season on both clean sheet form at home and on the road, combining to hit at a 77% clip on average.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s enough for us to get involved here on the 1H Under 1.25 goals on Sunday as we\u2019re expecting a cagey affair to open this weekend&#8217;s Manchester
