Liverpool fans will be hoping that Manchester United can do them a favour on Wednesday evening in their chase for the Premier League title, but the odds are in the favour of Manchester City as they attempt to leap back to the top of the table.
For the first time in many years, Manchester United have been backed at odds as big as 11/2 for a home fixture in the league as they look to bounce back from a confidence-sapping 4-0 defeat away to Everton at the weekend.
At 4/9, Manchester City are one of the shortest priced away teams to visit Old Trafford in the history of the Premier League as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to turn around the form that has seen his side lose 6 of their last 8 competitive fixtures.
Solskjaer’s chances of steering his side to a top four finish in the Premier League had briefly drifted to 7/1 after their Goodison Park nightmare, however Arsenal’s subsequent failure to capitalise and Chelsea’s draw with Burnley means United go into the derby at 4/1 for a top four finish.
Manchester City meanwhile are 8/13 to hold off the challenge of Liverpool (13/10) to win their second consecutive league title.
