Cristiano Ronaldo seems primed for centre stage at the Etihad, win, lose or draw.
Manchester City are an eyecatchingly thin 2/5 for the WIN (4.30pm) - the sort of price that looks as much about cutting the nation’s accas down to size as anything else.
There’s certainly nothing in the recent record of Manchester derbies to back it up. In the last dozen, City are W6 D1 L5 and the away side has won NINE times.
