Manchester City and Manchester United meet at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with both clubs desperate for an upturn in form.
“Has there ever been a more miserable Manchester derby? I don’t think so,” said BBC Sport’s football expert Chris Sutton.
“Knowing Manchester, it will probably be raining. There are certainly clouds over both clubs at the moment anyway.”
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 16 he takes on darts star Stephen Bunting, who is a Liverpool fan.
Bunting, who is ranked eighth in the Professional Darts Championship (PDC) order of merit, takes on Alan Soutar or Kai Gotthardt in the second round of the PDC World Championship, which starts at London’s Alexandra Palace on Sunday.

As well as being one of the best darts players on the planet, Bunting is famous for his love of collecting retro football stickers.
“I collected them when I was a kid and used to get really excited when I got a shiny, like the Liverpool badge,” Bunting told BBC Sport.
“It sort of disappeared out of my life for a while but then I stumbled across the ‘Paolo Panini’ TikTok channel.
“I started collecting all the old cards again and I’ve got some really good ones. Not long back I picked up an Andres Iniesta autograph card which is worth between £3,000 and £5,000.
“It’s not just football – there is a Panini collection of darts cards out now that I have just got my hands on too, so I am going to unpack them on my YouTube channel.”
Bunting is renowned for his knack of finding rare and valuable cards, but sadly stickers of Chris Sutton are classed as neither.
“He’d have to pay me to take one of those off him,” was Bunting’s expert verdict.
Bunting is a lifelong Liverpool fan, and follows them wherever he is in the world.
“A lot of my family were Blues but my dad was a massive Liverpool fan,” he explained. “He started taking me to matches when I was five or six.
“He got me a ‘dad and lads’ season ticket when I was younger but unfortunately we had to give it up because of my darts, and now trying to get on the waiting list for a season ticket is almost impossible.
“I still get to some games now, and it is always special to go to Anfield but when I am playing in tournaments I have to settle for watching them on my phone.
“We are doing so well at the moment, which is such a pleasant surprise.
“Filling Jurgen Klopp’s boots was always going to be difficult, but what Arne Slot has done so far is nothing short of a miracle.
“There is no way I thought we would be fighting at the front and top of the Premier League at this stage. It is still too early in the season to predict whether we are going to win it, but we have looked unbelievable so far.”
Chris Sutton and Stephen Bunting were speaking to BBC Sport’s Chris Bevan.
