Gary Neville predicted that Manchester City would "get done" in the derby before they went and put six past their neighbours.
Manchester United headed to the Etihad off the back of four straight wins which had led to a renewed confidence as they begun to find their feet under Erik ten Hag. Neville was clearly feeling optimistic and that was only furthered when he saw that City had made several surprise changes.
Pep Guardiola decided to start without midfield anchor Rodri or centre-halves Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte. Instead Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji started in defence and Neville said upon finding out: "Well I've just seen the team news here at the Etihad - and this lot (City) are getting done. My chickens have been counted."
