What will Manchester City look like?
City have won the Premier League title for the third time in a row. At the end of the Premier League season, The Citizens were five points ahead of Arsenal, who finished second. Manchester City showed an excellent game in attack and became the most productive team in the Premier League (94 goals). After the “city dwellers” became inaccessible to the “shooters”, Pep Guardiola made an active rotation of the squad. So it is not surprising that in the last three rounds, City showed moderate results: a victory over Chelsea (1: 0), a draw with Brighton (1: 1) and a defeat against Brentford (0: 1).

Pavel Zanozin Prediction for Manchester City vs Manchester United 3 June
“The Mancunian derby is waiting for us in the FA Cup final. City seem to be the clear favourites. Probably, now it is the best team in the world, not without reason that the “nationals” went to the treble. However, I don’t think City’s victory will be that easy. To be honest, I was surprised by the relatively high chances of both teams to score. The Citizens also conceded against opponents from a much lower class than United, and the Red Devils had a good display in attack, and besides, this was clearly not a normal game for them. I think United will definitely score. Of course, City will also excel. So I plan to bet on the goals of both teams, ”Zanozin believes.
In the FONBET betting company, bets on “both teams to score” can be made with the coefficient 1.75.
