Forget about the fact that Manchester City have won their last six games, the real momentum lies with Manchester United. Pep Guardiola’s side is flying high and may have hit six goals past Southampton and Shakhtar Donetsk, but that pales in comparison to beating Juventus in Turin.

The Red Devils were given no chance against the Italian champions, but they pulled off a famous result with that late comeback win. Those are the kind of results that boost a team going into a big game like the Manchester derby.

Manchester United have momentum on their side and are currently brimming with confidence. That is shown by the resurgence of the likes of Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof, Juan Mata and even the returning Ander Herrera. And, should they go into Sunday’s game with the same morale and character, then there is no reason why they cannot beat City.
