Patrice Evra has made his predictions ahead of a mouth-watering weekend of derbies in the Premier League, backing ex-club Manchester United and old rivals Arsenal to come out on top.
The Manchester Derby and North London Derby matches take place this weekend at Old Trafford and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium respectively. The Mancunian clash is up first as Saturday's early kick-off and Evra sees his former club coming out on top with what would be an impressive 2-1 victory, but perhaps not a surprise given the two teams' contrasting form in recent weeks.
"It's a tough one to predict," the Frenchman admitted, per Metro, having watched the Red Devils humiliatingly lose 6-3 away to Pep Guardiola and Co. in the reverse fixture just over three months ago. " [Riyad] Mahrez is on fire for City at the moment. It's a derby, so I'm not expecting a big score. I can see it being 2-1 to United, but equally it wouldn't be surprising to see City win; it could go either way. It can't be like the last match, [United] have to learn from that."
