Michael Carrick enjoyed the perfect start as Manchester United manager, beating Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford on January 17.
Carrick hopes to prove there was no fluke about that result when United take on Enzo Maresca's City today.
The Citizens are clear favourites but United have been formidable opponents at Old Trafford in 2026 and backing over 3.5 goals could be the best bet.
The Red Devils won eight of their nine home league games after Carrick's appointment last season and it has been a similar story this term.
Their first two away results in the Premier League were a dismal 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull and a 2-2 draw at Everton, whose right-back Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a spectacular late equaliser.
