Both Chelsea and Arsenal will be rooting for a City win, it’s probably more important for The Gunners that United lose because Paddy Power have paid out already on Chelsea winning The Premier League. You can still bet on the outright market but anyone who backed Chelsea at the beginning of the season will be counting their winnings now, it could come back to bite Paddy should United or Arsenal manage to conjure a miracle and win the league themselves in which case they’ll be paying out again.
Surprisingly City aren’t favourites despite home advantage and being in such rich goalscoring form, it’s 17/10 for the home win where as Man Utd are 6/4 to put City back in their place. The chances for United will depend on whether Wayne Rooney plays and how patched up he is, if he doesn’t play its hard to see anyone having the stomach for a derby day battle.
17/10 Man City Win
12/5 Draw
6/4 Man Utd Win

How Sir Alex must regret letting Carlos Tevez go right now, he’d be the perfect replacement for the injured Wayne Rooney and would definitely have more fight in him than Dimitar Berbatov. Comparing both Tevez and Berbatov it’s clear who has been the best value for money this season.
If there is one bet that is bound to get backed by football punters up and down the country it’s going to be Carlos Tevez scoring the first goal, 5/1 is fantastic price that will batter the bookies if he gets the opener. He could really make Fergie eat his words should he bang in two goals which is 8/1 or a hat-trick at 33/1, one thing is for sure the City faithful will rub United’s nose in it with the “Fergie, Fergie, sign him up” chants.
