(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 06, 2012 ) London, UK -- Manchester United will beat Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup third round tie according to betting writer David Walker.
The derby will be considered by the viewing public as a “rematch” between the duo and United's chance to regain credibility as the top club in Manchester after suffering a 6-1 home defeat at the hands of City last October.
However, according to Walker, who wrote a detailed preview on his free bets website, it is United who go into this match as the stronger side.
“United may have lost their last two Premier League matches, but prior to that they won their last four matches convincingly,” said Walker.
“City, on the other hands have not been entirely convincing. They beat Liverpool earlier this week but lost to Sunderland last weekend and were held to a goalless draw at home by West Bromwich Albion on Boxing Day.
“United won't be the only team missing players either”, added Walker, “City will also be without Yaya and Kolo Toure who have joined the Senegal training camp ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations”.
In other matches, Walker singled out Gillingham, Charlton Athletic and Peterborough United to cause shock FA Cup results on the weekend.
Gillingham host Stoke City and Charlton visit London rivals Fulham on Saturday, while Peterborough play host to in-form Sunderland on Sunday.
The full FA Cup betting preview can be found on Walker's website, where he also identifies eight matches likely to end as draws and also gives his thoughts on the televised fixtures between Liverpool vs Oldham Athletic on Friday night and Monday's encounter between Arsenal vs Leeds United.
