Former Brazil star Rivaldo has nominated Manchester City to win their upcoming match against Manchester United in the Premier League 9th round derby.

Pep Guardiola’s team is expected to face a tough test against United after four wins in a row, the last being over Liverpool and Arsenal, but Rivaldo still celebrates City’s victory at the Etihad Stadium and exiting with three points.

“The Derby will see a change in the dominant team in recent years and Josep Guardiola’s team will return as favourites,” said Rivaldo.

He added: City are more in line with their style of play, while United and Ten Hag are still looking for a better system and efficiency, so I see Manchester City’s win as close, with a brilliant possession by Erling Haaland who cause a lot of trouble for the visiting team’s defense.”

The Norwegian striker has scored 11 goals this season in just 7 games.
