00:00The Premier League still in action here, although for Man U or I mean Man City, I mean, right now,

00:06you know, both teams has been kind of challenging. Man U lost to a 1-0. Man City's missing one of

00:11their best players today. So, I mean, I'm looking at a bunch of different odds here,

00:15and this one seems a lot closer, by the way, going into the weekend. So, what do you think

00:20is the outcome here? Is it an under here? Is there a possibility that maybe some goals could

00:25be scored? And quite frankly here, it seems like both teams are having a hard time lately.

00:30Yeah, they absolutely are. It's been a real struggle for both teams relative to their

00:34expectations. You've got Manchester United all the way down in 13th in the table,

00:38and they just continue to slog through the season. They've got the Europa League to

00:42lean on at least, as that's still going, but it's just been brutal in domestic play. And

00:46Man City too, they're still struggling to maintain that top four, top five position.

00:51England this season, very, very likely to get a fifth Champions League place. So,

00:55top five will be good enough to qualify for the top European competition next year,

01:00but they're just hanging on by a thread. And Erling Haaland suffered an ankle injury

01:05recently. So, it's been a brutal blow for them as well. And Pep Guardiola, they're continuing

01:11to struggle. Manchester United just lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest yesterday on a goal by Anthony

01:17Alango, which hurts because he was a former Manchester United player that ended up leaving.

01:22So, it's just both teams are taking punches left and right. And yeah, the under is the real play

01:27here because Manchester United, they can score goals, but they're one of the most inefficient

01:31teams in the league. They take a ton of shots that are all very low value. And on the other

01:36side of things, Man City can score as well, but they're missing Erling Haaland, their main goal

01:40scorer. I also think the play here too, Craig, Omar Marmouche is the man who's going to take

01:45over for Erling Haaland. And he's been exceptional both at Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this year,

01:50and then making the move to Man City in January. He's been fantastic as well. So,

01:55getting a chance to step in for Erling Haaland at that central striker position,

01:59he's a real quality player and I think he could take advantage of this opportunity.
