Sutton's predictions: Man City v Man Utd

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.

For week 16, he takes on darts star Stephen Bunting, who is a Liverpool fan.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1

The wheels have really come off at Manchester City now - who saw that coming?

City just cannot keep a clean sheet. They have managed one in their past 10 games, and now their manager Pep Guardiola is talking about being tired.

I know it was in the context of him not having enough energy to go to another club and starting again there, but it must have sent a message to his current players too.

You never know with Pep, and he may have just been being sarcastic, but if he really is tired, does he have the energy required to turn City around? That would be a worry for City with the run they are on.

Meanwhile, at Manchester United, new manager Ruben Amorim is barely through the door and the club's owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is telling everyone they are "mediocre".

Amorim beat City in his final game in charge of Sporting, before he came to Old Trafford, which got United fans very excited, but they have soon realised whenever they play anyone half-decent, they are the same team that were struggling under Erik ten Hag.

Basically, both teams have been really bad, so what on earth do I go for here?

In the recent past, I have always gone with City in Manchester derbies and, while Amorim beat them with Sporting, you have to remember City could have been a few goals up by half-time in that game.

So, I'm going to go with City to win at home and maybe rejuvenate Pep before Christmas.

Speaking of stats, I've got a good one for you - United never lost three league games in a row in more than two years under Erik ten Hag, but Amorim will manage that in less than a month if he is beaten here.

Bunting's prediction: 2-1

I can see this being cagey because of City's poor form, with just one goal in it.
