Huge match tonight, Man United v Man City, so that has to be the choice. We will do the Outright (1-2-x) where the prices are a bit of an eye-opener.
Couple of things before we start.
First up, welcome aboard @Telmison74 who joined us for the first time yesterday. Good luck mate, any questions fire away.
Also, big thanks to @Boxster who has stepped in at short notice to do the Selections Spready tonight, Thursday & Friday, after @dobiesdraw became unavailable. Vacancy still exists for Saturday & Sunday of this week, but not a prob if nobody available.
EDIT;
Kick Off is 8pm, so latest entries 7.30pm please;

Next, here's how we stand after last night's result, & 2 players are 2 from 2 & have burst clear of the field, so well done @Snuffer & @NoEa5yCa5h. Plenty of time for everyone else though. 53 entries this week, so that's probably a record, but more new faces are always welcome.

SportingLife.com have this to say;

And OPTA tell us.....
This will be the 160th league meeting between Manchester United and Manchester City; the Red Devils have won 62, drawn 51 and lost 46 of the previous such games.
Manchester City have only lost one of their last seven league visits to Old Trafford (W5 D1), with current boss Pep Guardiola winning both of his Premier League games there by a 2-1 scoreline.
There have been just six previous Premier League meetings between Man Utd and Man City outside of Saturday or Sunday. Man Utd won the first in November 1994 (5-0) but are winless in the subsequent five (D2 L3).
No side has won more Premier League away games at Old Trafford than Manchester City (6, level with Chelsea).
Manchester United have won fewer points than any other side in meetings between the ‘big six’ this season (6), failing to win any of their three home games so far (D2 L1).
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 14 home league games (W9 D5). However, the Red Devils have kept just two clean sheets at Old Trafford in the league this season – no side has kept fewer (also Fulham).
Manchester City have scored 155 goals in all competitions this season – the record for an English Football League side in a single campaign is currently 156, held by City themselves in 2013-14.
No visiting manager in Premier League history has won three consecutive trips to Old Trafford, with Man City manager Pep Guardiola one of just three to win both of his first two (also Sam Allardyce and Ronald Koeman).
Each of Manchester United’s last three permanent managers has lost their first league meeting with Manchester City in charge of the club (David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho), with Alex Ferguson the last to win his first such contest, 2-0 in March 1987.
No player has scored more goals in Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Manchester City than Man City striker Sergio Aguero (8, level with Wayne Rooney). In fact, only Alan Shearer (10) has scored more Premier League goals against Man Utd than the Argentinian (8).
Phil Foden scored his first Premier League goal for Man City last time out against Tottenham, aged 18 years and 327 days. Kelechi Iheanacho and Gabriel Jesus are the only teenagers to score in consecutive Premier League games for the Citizens.
Man Utd’s Paul Pogba has been involved in nine goals in his last eight Premier League games at Old Trafford, scoring eight and assisting one. The Frenchman scored twice in his last league match against Man City, in a 3-2 win at the Etihad last term.
OK, let's go.
