Under 3.5 Goals & Under 5.5 Cards (9\/10 with bet365<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matches after the first international break can often be a little dull, with players being jaded from travelling around the globe. Of the last 40 top-flight fixtures immediately after the first international break of the season, 20 have been 0-0 at half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven of the last eight meetings between Manchester City and Manchester United have featured four or fewer goals, with the most recent of those being a dreary 0-0 back in April. Anthony Taylor is the referee on Sunday, and he has dished out four or fewer cards in six of his last ten. Furthermore, only two of the last ten have featured five or more cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erling Haaland to score a header (13\/2 with Betway<\/a>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Erling Haaland has now bagged 88 goals for Manchester City, with 15 of them coming from headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This season we have seen a switch in style for City with a much more direct approach. For defenders, it\u2019s no longer just about worrying over his pace in behind or his knack for pouncing on loose balls. The real danger now is Haaland as an aerial weapon\u2014and City finally look structured to exploit that fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers highlight the shift: in the past six seasons, City averaged 7.32 open-play crosses in the first half of matches. Last season, that dipped slightly to 6.26. But against Wolves on the first day weekend of the season, the approach changed dramatically\u2014they delivered 12 first-half crosses, nine of them inside the opening 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n
