This season's first Manchester derby promises to be an interesting one as both City and United are in their own little unique crisis. Manchester City lost again, this time against Juventus in their midweek Champions League match, while Manchester United scraped through a win against Viktoria Plzeň, amidst stuttering performances under new manager Ruben Amorim, as well as off-the-field upper management drama. With both teams yet to find their footing, who will come out on top at the Etihad? It's a tricky one to call, according to our pundits. Tune in as they share their take on that match, as well as other games from Matchweek 16, as well as the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup, only on another episode of Just For Kicks!
