Roy Keane has just predicted the result of Man City vs Manchester United

For the first time in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013, Manchester City are heading into a Manchester Derby with fewer points on the board than Manchester United.

The statistic sums up how woeful Pep Guardiola’s side have been at the start of their league campaign so far, winning their first game while proceeding to lose their next two.

If Manchester City taste defeat on derby day or even share the spoils, the fans will undoubtedly start to doubt whether their rebuild will become a successful one eventually.

Guardiola is passionate as ever behind the scenes and he will be upset at the dismal start to City’s season.

In the latest episode of The Overlap’s podcast Stick To Football, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Jill Scott tried their hand at predicting the Manchester Derby.

Pep Guardiola and Ruben Amorim’s head-to-head record

Roy Keane is a fan of Tijjani Reijnders and it will be interesting to see whether the Dutchman emerges as City’s saviour on the day.

However, based on the former Nottingham Forest dynamo’s prediction, a nervy affair could ensue between the two sides this weekend.

Being a serial winner, Pep Guardiola will be hoping to get one up over Ruben Amorim.

Guardiola has won two, lost two and drawn one out of his five meetings with Amorim.

The last time both managers faced each other, their sides drew 0-0.

If Roy Keane’s prediction comes to fruition, the respective Manchester City and Manchester United tacticians will be neck-and-neck with each other as far as their head-to-head record is concerned.
