Manchester City are slight favourites to win tonight's Manchester derby against Manchester United at Eastlands

It promises to be an explosive encounter with Greater Manchester Police already preparing to increase their numbers in the city as well as extending their no-alcohol ban.

City go into the game as favourites and no better than 17/10 at time of writing with Betfred, who also offer a best price 23/10 on the game ending in a draw.

United are currently a best price 19/10 at Sky Bet.

United will be looking for goals against a City side who have conceded in seven of their last nine Premier League games at Eastlands and go into the game unbeaten in their last ten Premier League matches away from Old Trafford.

Despite having the likes of Tevez, Balotelli and Silva in their squad, City have only scored seven goals at home this season and will need to find the net if they are to beat a United side who have beaten City in five of their last six matches in all competition.

United striker Michael Owen has scored seven goals in eight in eight Premier League appearances against Manchester City.
