Neville has given his prediction for the first Manchester derby of the Premier League season, with Manchester United hosting Manchester City at Old Trafford.

Last season, Carrick's first game as interim manager of Manchester United was a 2-0 victory over Manchester City at a packed Old Trafford. Neville believes that such a fervent home atmosphere could help Manchester United secure a second consecutive home win against their arch-rivals this weekend.

"I think Manchester United will win. If I had to guess the score, I'd say Manchester United 2-1."

"Looking at Sunday's encounter, this is a new Manchester City team, with many players who have never played at Old Trafford or in a derby of this magnitude."

"I've always said that when Manchester City visit Anfield, I would tip Liverpool to win. The situation for Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday is somewhat similar.

Manchester City have a strong squad, but they have lost a lot of experienced players with leadership qualities, which is a significant loss."

"Old Trafford, like Anfield, is a stadium that can overwhelm opponents. Within just ten minutes, it can completely overpower the opposition.

For much of the game, Manchester City might have the upper hand. But there will be those ten or so minutes when the atmosphere becomes intense, the tempo suddenly increases, and Manchester City players will be caught off guard.

What we need to rely on this Sunday is precisely such a moment – those five to ten minutes when the roar of the entire stadium will completely overwhelm the opponent."
