PL Predictions: Man Utd backed to win on derby day

Top analyst Lewis Jones has projected the outcomes for the latest round of Premier League action, tipping Manchester United to secure a 2-1 victory over Manchester City. 25 goals per 90 minutes.

That commanding form suggests the 21/10 price on United understates their true chances, notwithstanding defensive vulnerabilities.

Elsewhere, Brighton are tipped to edge Coventry City 2-1, backed by league-leading metrics in expected goals, crosses from open play, and major opportunities created against a promoted side that has opened with three straight losses. Meanwhile, Daniel Farke's Leeds United, unbeaten in 11 of their past 12 top-flight matches, are backed at 11/8 to overcome Newcastle United.

Matthias Jaissle's squad has outperformed an expected goal tally of only three by scoring six times while facing the competition's highest shot total, though sixty-million-euro arrival Matias Fernandez-Pardo could push for a starting role after frequently forcing opposition cards in France.
