Maybe and just maybe if Slot cant make this team any better we can see Xabi Alonso taking charge on the Liverpool team as a coach, i really want to see it , imagine for the next season of Premier League having, Xabi Alonso on Liverpool and Luis Enrique on Manchester United, majestic. Plus Guardiola on City and Arteta on Arsenal.Is gonna be a coach season.

The derby of Manchester is on the horizon! Only 4 days left. Manchester City's odds continue to rise interestingly. From 1.85 to 1.95 so far... But I still believe they will be the winner.

It is a big maybe but I wouldn't also say no to seeing Xabi Alonso manage Liverpool.    He is a great manager who has proven his manager skills at Leverkusen. They wasted him at Real Madrid.

I know he resigned because of the players' attitude against him. But the board should have thought about what can be done on the recent incidents. You can't change your manager often because of that in the end.

After this break in the PL a really nice game is going to greet us!

• Man Utd - Man City

Of course Guardiola's club is the obvious favourite here. Man Utd is still in pain because of inconsistencies. And it's still not known who's going to be their next coach. Until then Fletcher takes care of the club.

In this situation I don't expect them to show a great effort in this derby honestly. 1.85 odds for Man City look just great! I might bet on it early in fact.

If I had to take a high risk bet, I’d go with the draw. City’s odds look really tempting since they’ve been slightly better in terms of form.

But we shouldn’t forget that even though MU have been inconsistent lately, they usually show up when playing against their rivals. If you look at their previous meetings, the results are often unpredictable. Plus, MU are playing at home, which should give them some extra confidence to avoid a loss.

So, I’m taking draw @4.10.

Manchester United is not in form at the moment, and i think Manchester City will beat Manchester United, but with the Manchester United records against big teams in the premier league this season, Manchester United can fight for a point against Manchester City, so it seems if you bet on the Manchester United and Manchester City game as a draw, you can end up winning the bet. If the Manchester United and Manchester City game doesn't end as a draw, Manchester City will beat Manchester United, and i will bet on Manchester City direct win if Diallo and Mbeumo do not feature for Manchester United against Manchester City.

Hmmm interesting, in the first meeting Man City won this Derby, curious for the second Derby this time will the result be the same? and what adds to making it a little difficult to predict, they both produce 3 draws in the last 5 weeks, but given the fact that Man Utd is coached by a new coach, making Man City more likely to win even though they play away.

Well, I was just talking about this with a friend of mine, I think Xabi could be a potential replacement for Arne at Liverpool, and maybe the true quality of Florian Wirtz could be brought out 100% if Xabi really went to Anfiled, unfortunately Man Utd, already signed Carrick, otherwise maybe they would also approach Xabi.

United has been struggling badly since and with just an interim manager in charge there problems has even compounded the more . And going into this game Manchester United will go in as the underdogs because, Manchester City is the favorite to win this game. But don't forget this is a local derby and there is pride to fight for so this game may not go the way everyone is thinking because when it comes to games like this no team should be underrated.



Manchester United will be playing at home and I believe it should serve as an advantage to to united. For we the gambling community we should take the risk and take it well 3.23 is a good odd that is worth taking the risk for Manchester United.

some of the things xabi alonso did at leverkusen were incredible, and they had a huge impact on his move to real madrid. actually, his performance at real madrid wasn't that bad, but the fact that their biggest rivals, barcelona, fell behind in the league and lost the super cup led to his departure. from what i've read, he also wanted to leave for some internal team reasons. there are so many “star” players at real madrid right now that managing such a team is very difficult. i'm sure this is one of the reasons.

xabi alonso could try his luck in the premier league, but i don't know if that team would be liverpool. we can say he's a quality coach; i just think he didn't come at the right time for real madrid.
