WATCH: Sam Matterface's Man Utd v Man City preview

Ahead of this weekend's crunch Manchester derby, Sam Matterface has had his say on how he sees the Premier League clash unfolding at Old Trafford.

With just four points separating Manchester City in 2nd and Manchester United in 4th, Pep Guardiola's charges will be aware a defeat at Old Trafford would see their rivals reel them in.

Conversely, an away win for City at the Theatre of Dreams, which they achieved last season in a 2-0 triumph, would see the Premier League's reigning champions stretch the gap between themselves and rivals United to a considerable seven points.

This would be no mean feat, however, considering United's recent form which has seen them win nine matches in a row at home in all competitions.

Sam Matterface foresees a close but entertaining encounter, and he is backing over 3.5 Goals which is currently priced at 7/4.
