Manchester: Manchester United head boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has been on the edge for quite some time to prove himself after a series of disappointing performances in the league. He escaped being disposed off narrowly with a win against Tottenham Hotspurs and a comeback to draw against Atlanta in the Champions League. However, he is to face the real challenge as derby rivals Manchester City pay them a visit.
Any team automatically gets at an advantage with Cristiano Ronaldo on their side. The most prolific goalscorer of the times proved why he is in the run for being the best athlete to grace this game with an extraordinary brace against Atlanta as he seems to be pumped up for his first derby 11 years later.
However the defensive woes of Manchester United have still been haunting them and we’re evidently exposed to the bones against Atlanta and with Raphael Varane missing the game, it remains questionable if the Manchester United defence can contain the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus. But whatsoever be it, the custodians David De Gea and Ederson would be put to continuous tests.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur will visit Everton at Goodison Park with renewed spirit under Antonio Conte who succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo after the latter was disposed of following a disastrous 3-0 loss at the hands of Manchester United.
Chelsea and Liverpool will be having seeming easy games taking on Burnley and West Ham with a high probability of winning. However, the unpredictability of the Premier League is something, that has always kept the fans on their toes.
