Give it up for Mystic Megson as he gazes into his crystal balls and casts his Man City v Man Utd score prediction for this weekend, including goal-scorers and his own judicious judgements of each side…

Now this is what the ancient Romans referred to as a tossilus titonicus! Will Manchester be painted blue or red by the time I’m sat down enjoying Mrs Meggo’s famous Yorkie puds?

City will be literally teething from having lost at West Ham and thrown away a two-goal lead at CSKA Moscow last week, so don’t be surprised to see Manuel Pellegrini puffle the shack.

Surely David Silva has to start playing in the hole, and with Agüero the man in vorm it has to be Džeko what drops to the bench.

As for United, they’ll have taken plenty of enburridgement from Marouane Fellaini’s recent contribbuteos, and they’ll be pleased to welcome back Wayne Rooney as long as he recovers from a minor foot injury and the blockheads.

Neither side can afford to lose, so I forssell a tents ink counter with lidl left to chants.

Now, here comes Mystic Megson’s Manchester City v Manchester United score prediction for Sunday November 2nd – place your balls, now!

Mystic Megson says Man City 2-1 Man Utd – Agüero and Silva putting the balls on van Persil’s shock opening. You can put your balls on it!
