Traders will be arguing among themselves about whether there will be a goal-fest on Saturday when Manchester United and Manchester City do battle. The game at Eastlands earlier in the season produced a goalless draw, which was arguably one of the worst games of the year. However, who can forget last year\u2019s seven goal thriller when Michael Owen scored a 94th<\/sup> minute winner to shatter the Citizen\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n

Since August Roberto Mancini\u2019s side have built up a reputation of putting men behind the ball and being happy for a point against the better sides, a perfect example of this was at the Emirates in January. That has been further highlighted in the number of goals the Citizens scored against sides in the top five positions \u2013 one.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the blue side of Manchester that has struggled to score against top five opposition, United\u2019s four games against such clubs have produced just three goals.<\/p>\n

Bearing in mind that there has been one goal scored in the last two league meetings between United and City, it\u2019ll be worth letting the game develop and if it remains tight back the Red Devils to win it late on when their price has risen significantly. Paul Scholes headed a late winner at Eastlands and another would bring in a healthy profit.<\/p>\n
