Former Man City defender Micah Richards has made his prediction ahead of his old club taking on United in the Manchester derby.
City go into the game at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as favourites. They currently sit top of the Premier League at the time of writing by six points but this gap could be slashed after Liverpool face West Ham.
Manchester United meanwhile are battling for the top four with several other teams. The Reds currently sit fourth but could slip outside of the Champions League spots when they take to the pitch at the Etihad.

Commenting in his Daily Mail column, Richards made a surprising prediction for the derby. He said: "United, who City host on Sunday, have great players and are more than capable of winning the Manchester derby.
"Yet they have not looked like winning a title in recent times. City and Liverpool have raised the standards so much that only faultless football is good enough."
Sunday's clash will be Ralf Rangnick's first as United manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the hotseat back in November when City cruised to a 2-0 victory. The match kicks off at 4.30pm.
