Patrice Evra shares confident Man City vs Manchester United derby prediction

Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra has shared his prediction ahead of today's derby.

United travel to the Etihad Stadium in better spirits than last time they visited. United were hammered 4-1 last time they faced Pep Guardiola's men, under Ralf Rangnick, however this side is a different proposition to that one.

Erik ten Hag's team have won four games on the trot in the league and confidence is high among the squad once more. City meanwhile have also enjoyed a fine start to the campaign.

The Blues have yet to lose in the regular season and with Erling Haaland up front have found it easy to rack up the goals. Heading into this fixture, the former French international says he is optimistic about United's chances.

"I am feeling confident," Evra told Betfair. "I think it's going to be a great game.

"City are having a good start, but it's not a dominant start. I think we have a chance.

"Recently we have had some very good results, we only lost one game in the last six, but he made changes for that defeat in the Europa League, it's not easy when the team changes. We have good momentum, I think the team is playing well together, and to be honest I'm confident because even when we are having a bad season we always perform against City, apart from last year.

"In the past when we were struggling people said City would destroy us, but they didn't and this time we have a big chance. It's going to be tough, but I'm confident.

"I like it when we play City when we aren't confident and we are up against the wall. That's my only worry, right now, things are pretty good and going into this game when things are pretty good, that is when City can hurt us."
