Man City v Man United Odds: Rooney Can Keep Premier League Title Hopes Alive

This match can rightly be regarded as the most important Manchester Derby for years as the two teams come into the game desperate for the points. The bookmakers can barely separate them in the market with both being quoted at 6/4 to win with Ladbrokes with the draw at 11/5.

They have met each other three times so far this season, with United holding the upper hand, winning two, including that epic Carling Cup second leg, when they came from behind to win by 3-1. However United have not been in the form they need to be in at this crucial stage of the season and have been dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich as well as losing to Premier League rivals, Chelsea a fortnight ago. Matters got worse for them when they could only manage a goalless draw against Blackburn Rovers last week.

These results now leave United four points adrift of Chelsea with just four games left to be played by both teams, meaning that defeat against City is now unthinkable.

As far as City are concerned, they could not have United in worse shape as they themselves look to chase the three points which would all but ensure fourth spot in the League and a guaranteed Champions League berth next season. Defeat however, would most certainly throw the race to the fourth spot wide open once again.

The obvious betting recommendation for this game is to back the draw, however, these two sides do not seem the drawing kind when they play each other, so we suspect that the team that wins will be the team that handles the pressure better, which in theory should be United.

We therefore take United to win the match but believe that there may be a few goals scored before they do so. A 3-2 win looks to have potential which has odds of 25/1 with Ladbrokes which needless to say would pay out a healthy return. The game would not be a game without goals from Rooney and Tevez and it would be worthwhile backing them both to score during the match with odds of 5/1.
