The race for the Premier League title could take another twist on Wednesday night as Manchester United welcome neighbours Manchester City to Old Trafford.
More than bragging rights are at stake as a win for the visitors would see them go back to the top of the table, whilst any other result means Liverpool would remain in first with three games to go.
William Hill make City just 4/9 (1.44) to win at their rivals in the league for the third season in a row, whilst United are out at 6/1 (7.0) - the longest price they have ever been in a home game in the Premier League era.
Getty ImagesAt such long odds, there is set to be plenty of interest in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men and William Hill’s Golden Goal offer means that you can get paid out as a winner even if your team doesn’t claim all three points. T&Cs apply.
Back a team to win in 90 Minutes and if they score the first goal, the firm will pay your bet out as a winner, up to £50 winnings in cash, if they draw or lose the match.
Applies to bet struck on the “90 Minutes” market only and the qualifying bet must be placed pre-match. Only your first qualifying bet on the Golden Goal match will count towards this offer.
It has been over four years since the Red Devils beat their neighbours at Old Trafford in the league and with just four games left in the campaign, will be desperate to arrest that miserable run as well as their current poor form.
Getty ImagesAfter winning 14 of their first 17 matches under Solskjaer to give life to their top four challenge, they have since lost six of their last eight games in all competitions including a 4-0 drubbing at Everton last time out.
Despite such a poor recent record, United have netted the first goal in seven of their last nine home fixtures and with Champions League qualification still well up for grabs, will be determined to start on the front foot.
City, meanwhile, have opened the scoring in 13 of their 16 away league games this season and have done so in each of the last three Manchester derbies – including in last season’s 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
