Summary
Manchester United are tipped to win Sunday’s derby 2-1, with Lewis Jones arguing the market underrates Michael Carrick’s record in major matches.
Eight games against the traditional big six and Aston Villa have produced seven wins and one draw for Carrick, with United averaging 2.25 goals per 90 in those fixtures.
Jones still flags concern over United’s longer-term outlook because of weak defensive metrics, but says home advantage and Carrick’s big-game edge justify the 21/10 price.
Elsewhere, Brighton are backed to beat winless Coventry 2-1, while Leeds are tipped to defeat Newcastle 2-1 and Ethan Ampadu is Jones’ best bet to be carded at 3/1.
