Preview

Manchester City have dug themselves out of a hole after a difficult start to the season but they could find local rivals United a tough nut to crack on Sunday.

Gareth Taylor's side were unbeaten in five Super League matches before their 1-0 loss to Chelsea last week, but United demonstrated that they can be a match for anyone in the league after they led for 79 minutes against Arsenal.

They were pegged back to a 1-1 draw at Boreham Wood but it was a performance that should provide grounds for optimism.

The first clash this season ended in a 2-2 draw and while that result may have been affected by Georgia Stanway's first-half red card for City, United demonstrated they are well up to the challenge and they should be able to get something from Sunday's clash.

Everton and Aston Villa have both been struggling but both will see Sunday's clash as a good opportunity for a boost.

The Toffees have claimed one win in their last eight league games and Villa have lost eight of their last ten, but shaky defences should lead to an entertaining encounter and a price of 9-10 that there will be at least three goals looks generous.
